FESI has joined forces with a coalition of 31 leading European business associations to call for an ambitious and open trade policy to support the EU’s competitiveness and economic prosperity. All undersigned business associations believe that an ambitious and open trade policy is essential to supporting the EU’s competitiveness. Trade openness drives economic growth and job creation, with 1 in 5 EU jobs relying on exports. It benefits consumers by increasing choices, with 60% of Europeans acknowledging these advantages, and attracts foreign investments, fostering growth and innovation in the EU. Additionally, diversification in sourcing and exports enhances resilience and our ability to weather and overcome crises.
