2019-03 LET’S PUT INDUSTRY AT THE CORE OF THE EU’S FUTURE! A JOINT CALL TO THE HEADS OF STATE AND GOVERNMENT

Industry4Europe has published a new Manifesto, co-signed by 136 European organisations & 395 national organisations representing all sectors of industry in the EU, who call on Heads of State and Government to:

• Urge the next European Commission to shortlist industry as a top priority of its 5-year Work Programme and appoint a dedicated Vice-President for Industry
• Require the next European Commission to swiftly present an ambitious long-term EU industrial strategy, which shall include clear indicators and governance
• Take stock, each year at the Spring European Council, of progress in the implementation of this EU industrial strategy, and provide political guidance to foster European competitiveness.

This Manifesto is published at the occasion of a high-level roundtable on “EU Industrial Policy: results and prospects for the next institutional cycle”, co-organised by Industry4Europe and the European Economic and Social Committee on 7th March.
