MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
“Basta! Enough is enough! The EU needs to get back on track”
Campaign description
The Basta! campaign is designed to highlight the plight of the many industry sectors struggling to remain competitive in the global markets in which they operate.
The current unfavourable context for industrial activities and investments is largely due to lack of political attention and to the mountains of regulatory requirements that industry has to comply with when established in the European Union. Regulatory compliance involves costs and the time is now for cutting them, for generating savings and productivity gains that can be invested in innovation and further productivity.
The European institutions must listen to the industry and ensure appropriate,affordable and consistent legislationthat will support growth and jobs.
