All investment barriers in Europe must be removed rapidly

Speaking at the meeting of the Presidents of its member federations today in Rome, Emma Marcegaglia said: 'Europe will only be able to increase investment if we improve attractiveness of the EU as a business location. Europe has many strengths, millions of skilled workers and innovative companies. But global competition for business investment is increasing. The European Commission has a renewed commitment to supporting business in creating prosperity and employment. But Europe can only succeed when all investment barriers are removed rapidly.'
