  • Mr. Vladimír Dlouhý, President of Eurochambes, at Forum Europa
    Eurochambres remind that the EU only emits between 7% and 9% of the world's CO₂

    The President of Eurochambres, Vladimír Dlouhý, denounced this Tuesday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that many businesspeople do not understand why the EU has the most restrictive legislation on climate and are in the center of the target when the continent only emits between 7% and 9% of the carbon dioxide of the entire planet.

    Dlouhý made these statements during his participation in an event organised by the New Economy Forum in the European capital, where he explained that his organisation is not against measures such as the New European Green Deal despite the fact that on the other side of the ocean (in reference to the United States) they are not carrying out policies of the same nature.

    The president of Eurochambres says that Trump's victory should serve to wake Europe up

    The President of the Eurochambres, Vladimír Dlouhý, said this Tuesday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that Donald Trump's victory in the United States elections is a wake-up call for the European continent to apply policies to stimulate its competitiveness.

    "Unfortunately, Europe has had many wake-up calls but we still haven't woken up", said Dlouhý during an event organised by the New Economy Forum in the European capital.

    The President of Eurochambres, former Minister of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic, warned that the European Union and its governing bodies have many more enemies than the American president himself.

  • Mr. Enrico Letta at the Forum Europa
    Letta says EU's biggest demographic challenge is being able to integrate immigrants

    The President of the Jacques Delors Institute and former Prime Minister of Italy, Enrico Letta, said on Wednesday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that “the most important demographic challenge today is related to the ability to integrate immigrants”.

    During an informative meeting organised by the New Economy Forum in the EU capital, Letta answered a question about what policies the European Union should adopt in the face of the demographic problem and the aging of the workforce.

    Letta admitted that it is a complicated issue, but considered that the single market can offer some solutions to this challenge.

    Some solutions, he said, involve the 27 working together to study what they can do in matters such as social affairs, the welfare state or opportunities in terms of mobility, among other issues.

  • Letta hopes Trump does not return to the White House because "it will be worse" than in his first term

    The President of the Jacques Delors Institute and former Prime Minister of Italy, Enrico Letta, said this Wednesday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that he "firmly" hopes that Donald Trump does not become president of the United States again after the elections on 5 November.

    During an informative meeting organised by the New Economy Forum in the EU capital, Letta expressed concern about the possible return of the Republican candidate Donald Trump to the White House, if he defeats his rival Kamala Harris at the polls.

    Letta said that he “firmly hopes that Trump will not be the next president of the United States, but if he is, we have to be prepared”.

    He added that “I think that the second Trump, I fear, will not be the first, he will be worse than the first, for many reasons”.

  • Letta calls for integration of banking, energy and telecoms in the EU to compete in the global market

    The President of the Jacques Delors Institute and former Prime Minister of Italy, Enrico Letta, said this Wednesday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that the European Union must seek the integration of telecommunications, energy, banking and financial services companies in order to compete in the global market.

    Letta said this at an informative meeting organised by the New Economy Forum in the capital of the EU, during which he also pointed out that the latest results of the Austrian elections, with the victory of the extreme right, “and other important signals that we are receiving” indicate that Europe “is plunged into political chaos everywhere”.
