Joint European Industry Manifesto

85 European and national industry associations have joined forces to make a united call to prevent the risk of de-industrialisation on our continent by relaunching Europe’scompetitiveness.

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:  

1)      Reposition Europe as global leader in trade

2)      Embrace a horizontal approach to EU Single Market and competitiveness

3)      Build a joined-up strategy to boost value chain resilience, protecting jobs and consumers

4)      Bridge the innovation gap

5)      Nurture talents and skills
