BUSINESSEUROPE’s Director General, Markus J. Beyrer, on June 18th spoke at an event in Berlin on communication and the outcome of the European elections. The event was organised by our German member, BDI, and Markus shared his thoughts under the headline “Europe has decided – good news for business?” His general answer was yes, because Europeans have overwhelmingly voted for constructive, pro-European forces. But he also said that politicians, as well as business, now have a shared responsibility to better communicate Europe by explaining what we all do in Brussels. One of the messages voters have sent is clearly to reform Europe, and make its future leadership focus on growth and jobs.
