"Better business environment is what Europe needs to increase investment"

Addressing the Tripartite Social Summit, Emma Marcegaglia said: “We need better conditions for more private investment, notably through single market development and access to finance at affordable prices. These are the main factors supporting job creation in Europe. Public investment should also increase where possible and needed, and optimised in a budget neutral way where there is no room for manoeuvre. Cutting expenditures in unproductive areas and re-directing it to productive sectors is the best to do with tax payers’ money."
