EU reform is high on the agenda and will likely remain centre stage over the coming year.
TheCityUK is sharing its new paper, ‘EU Reform: Time for Change’ (attached) which reinforces the practical reform proposals recommended by TheCityUK in its report: ‘EU reform: detailed proposals for a more competitive Europe’ and highlights thesustained commitment required from both Government and business to see reform become a reality.
- Government should publish a longer-term EU reform action plan and report regularly to Parliament and the public on progress. Building on previous work in this area, other Member States are encouraged to do the same.
- The Government’s Business Advisory Group should come forward with strategic recommendations on improving business-government collaboration on driving EU reform.
- Business and trade associations have an important role to play and should step up their engagement across the EU on the reform agenda.
Chris Cummings, Chief Executive at TheCityUK, said: “As the champion of EU reform, the UK has to lead by example. For our part, we have launched an extensive programme of engagement about our proposals with policymakers and practitioners across the EU. We hope others will do likewise.”
