The New European Commission Must Go For Growth
February 9, 2010--With the vote today in the European Parliament, the new European Commission is now effectively in place for the political cycle 2010-2014. The challenges ahead for Europe are immense and the new Commission, under the leadership of President Barroso, will need to take important and pressing decisions.
BUSINESSEUROPE is asking the new European Commission to go for growth. Europe needs policies that will allow the European Union to double its growth potential.
Philippe de Buck, Director General of BUSINESSEUROPE said: “Growth should inspire every policy decision of the European Union. Growth is a fundamental pre-condition to maintain our living standards and strengthen Europe’s position in the world. I hope the new Commission brings that message to the Heads of State at their meeting later this week in Brussels”.
