@BusinessatOECD General Assembly and consultation with ambassadors to the @OECD. The key points: simplification&cutting red tape, unlocking innovation, keeping markets open. Romania’s OECD accession will strengthen its investment appeal and accelerate key reforms.

The consultation of the #EuropeanSemester group has kicked off in Member States. This morning, the 1st round table took place in #Romania! This was an opportunity for national stakeholders to share their views on the reform&investment proposals formulated in the Semester.
Today, we launch the “BusinessEurope Omnibook to reduce regulatory burdens”, offering almost 140 concrete solutions to the most pressing regulatory burdens across 10 policy areas.
Based on our latest survey, our members identify regulatory burden as the main obstacle to investment in the EU, followed by high energy prices and skilled labour shortages.
After a year of EU Omnibus proposals, the Omnibook supports the European Commission’s burden-reduction agenda. The scale and urgency of the challenge call for greater ambition and faster progress.
We need a regulatory framework that enables investment, innovation and sustainable growth.

Concordia supports @BusinessEurope priorities for the upcoming Cypriot Presidency of @EUCouncil, emphasizing the need for faster decisions, simpler rules, and smarter investments. This Presidency is a crucial opportunity to deliver concrete results for Europe’s competitiveness.
Dear colleagues of @BusinessEurope, thank you for entrusting @OEBcy with the duty and privilege of hosting our #Copres meeting in Nicosia. Important decisions were taken which are clearly illustrated in the Nicosia Copres Declaration and we now have to collectively promote them and make sure they are implemented.
Having the leaders of the European Business Community in Cyprus, has been nothing short of a privilege and we take this with utmost humility and pride.
MEPs have backed reduced reporting duties and due diligence requirements for companies.
Reporting on environmental impact should only be necessary for larger companies, while due diligence obligations should apply only to very large EU and non-EU corporations, MEPs say.
@BusinessEurope Economic Outlook Autumn:
• Growth: EU growth stabilises around 1% in 2025, with a slight rise in 2026
• Challenges: High energy costs, skills shortages, and global tensions limit competitiveness
• Investment gap: EU underinvests in key areas, especially R&D
