EFIC co-signed a European Joint Industry Manifesto alongside 85 European and national industry associations. We have joined forces to make a united call to prevent the risk of de-industrialisation on our continent by relaunching Europe’s competitiveness.
Summary
The EU enters a new policy cycle at a challenging time, with technology and geopolitics acting as global disruptors, adding pressure to an already difficult economic situation. Now is the time to start building a strategic plan that unlocks the Single Market’s full potential and builds a regulatory environment for EU industry to remain globally competitive.
European industry’s demands are clear. We call on EU and national leaders to:
-
Reposition Europe as global leader in trade
-
Embrace a horizontal approach to EU Single Market and competitiveness
-
Build a joined-up strategy to boost value chain resilience, protecting jobs and consumers
-
Bridge the innovation gap
-
Nurture talents and skills
