UECBV joined another 84 European and national industry associations in a call to prevent the risk of de-industrialisation in Europe by relauching the European competitiveness.

Main sector of the food industry and economic actor in rural areas, livestock and meat production are a core pillar to European food and nutrition security and need a well functioning Single Market.

The EU enters a new policy cycle at a challenging time, with technology and geopolitics acting as global disruptors, adding pressure to an already difficult economic situation. Now is the time to start building a strategic plan that unlocks the Single Market’s full potential and builds a regulatory environment for EUindustry to remain globally competitive.

European industry’s demands are clear. We call on EU and national leaders to:

1) Reposition Europe as global leader in trade
2) Embrace a horizontal approach to EU Single Market and competitiveness
3) Build a joined-up strategy to boost value chain resilience, protecting jobs and consumers
4) Bridge the innovation gap
5) Nurture talents and skills
