EU Member States must continue to work closely for growth and jobs Date: 12 December 2011 AmCham EU welcomes the move by European leaders on 9 December to enforce stricter fiscal and financial discipline in their budgets.
While not a perfect solution, the reached agreements provide for a good basis for greater stability and
predictability for business invested in Europe, which is essential to generate growth and employment. Europe
should also continue the efforts to deepen and reinforce the integrity of the single market which is crucial for future growth prospects in Europe.
‘It is very encouraging to see that the European leaders are so strongly committed to the euro, and are taking useful steps towards stronger economic and fiscal integration within the Eurozone. We regret the lack of unanimity displayed at the summit last week, but we call upon the UK and the other EU Member States to continue to work closely together in the further deepening of the single market, including in the area of financial services’, said Hendrik Bourgeois, Chair of AmCham EU.
