The Confederation of industry of the Czech Republic hosted leaders of BUSINESSEUROPE
The newly elected President of the Confederation of European Business (BusinessEurope), Fredrik Persson, accompanied by Director General Markus Beyrer, attended another event in Prague organised by the Confederation of industry of the Czech Republic (SP CR). The visit followed the June meeting of the BusinessEurope Presidents’ Council, when business representatives from 35 European countries handed over the “Prague Declaration” of European business to the government headed by Prime Minister Petr Fiala, during which Fredrik Persson was also elected President.
The afternoon meeting of the SP EU team was a smooth follow-up to the morning meetings of the delegation accompanied by the Vice President of BusinessEurope Radek Špicar and the Director of the International Relations Section of SP CR Lukáš Martin with the Prime Minister Petr Fiala, the Minister of Industry and Trade Jozef Síkela and the Deputy Minister for European Affairs Marek Havrda.
The SP EU expert team members had an opportunity to discuss their priorities in the ongoing CZ PRES agenda and get feedback complemented by fresh information from the Czech government. The government representatives appreciated the intensive cooperation with the Confederation of Industry and welcomed that the Confederation of Industry will continue to participate in the development of effective measures to support Czech companies in the current energy and economic crisis, both at national as well as European level through BusinessEurope
