At the European Digital Advocacy Summit 2024, Thibaut L’Ortye, Senior Director of Public Affairs, AmCham EU spoke on how businesses help maintain stability and overcome challenges in turbulent times. Organised by the Public Affairs Council on Wednesday, 4 December, Mr L’Ortye highlighted the importance of a principle-based, non-partisan approach to communication, prioritising clarity while acknowledging complexity. By taking these steps, organisations can demonstrate long-term consistency on issues and build trust. With transparent, value-driven advocacy, industry can increasingly become important partners in addressing today’s most pressing challenges.

Priorities for a pro-growth Tax Omnibus
The Tax Omnibus presents a critical opportunity to modernise the EU tax framework in light of the evolving international framework, notably the implementation of Pillar 2. Many existing directives were designed in response to earlier Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) measures and now impose duplicative, fragmented and resource-intensive requirements on businesses. These burdens undermine tax certainty, increase compliance costs and weaken the EU’s attractiveness as an investment destination.
