President Fredrik Persson discussed the EU’s competitiveness and the challenges ahead in his interview with the Financial Times that was featured in their newsletter Europe Express on 9 April. “We need to reboot our system and refocus on competitiveness. We need regulation to be workable, or we won’t be successful,” Persson said. Director General Markus J Beyrer talked to Bloomberg about the trade aspects addressed in the paper: “We need to deal with economic security, but at the same time, we need an ambitious trade agenda.” He also presented our priorities at the ‘Talking Europe’ show on France 24. Politico’s Pro Trade Newsletter as well wrote about our campaign under the title ‘Business lobby enters campaign mode’.
