Recommendations to the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union

AmCham EU welcomes the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Despite impressive efforts to get vaccines into the arms of a majority of Europeans, Europe now finds itself in the midst of a fresh wave, which is further complicated by the emergence of the new Omicron variant of the virus. Following the progressive disbursement to Member States of the historic NextGenerationEU recovery instrument, the French Presidency will take on a critical task in overseeing the substantive rebuild of Europe’s economy around the twin transitions of environmental protection and the digitalisation. Our recommendations to the French Presidency aim to ensure we reach our common objectives of a stronger and more prosperous EU. The document highlights the priorities and recommendations that we believe will make Europe a more competitive and attractive place for investment. AmCham EU looks forward to working closely with France during its Presidency to ensure we reach our common objectives of a strong, green and digital economic recovery.
