Czech Business Today
CEBRE FOUNDERS’ PRIORITIES FOR EU INSTITUTIONS 2019-2024
The Single Market is the engine of the European Union. It helps our companies to grow and to create and to preserve jobs. The EU should focus on better and more effective implementation of existing legislation and not adopt new legislative acts that will create barriers to business. New initiatives should not interfere with the freedom to do business and should strictly respect the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality. We see room for new initiatives in areas related to technological development and the need to respond to new challenges. At the same time, the initiatives must encourage growth, not choke it.
We also see the internal market from the external perspective. The common trade policy opens the door to distant markets and provides business and often also investment conditions that the Czech Republic could not negotiate on its own. It’s entrepreneurs who create growth and jobs, not politicians. Politicians set the framework that should enable entrepreneurs to create growth and jobs. This concept must be promoted in the new political term 2019-2024. Business requirements should be reflected in the structure of the multiannual financial framework after 2020.
