Friday, January 26th
9.30 – 12.00 a.m. First round tableFirst round table First round tableDo European Companies need EU in a globalized economy?
What should the new internal market integration logic be ? Where should the emphasis be laid between regulatory and fiscal competition and sharing common rules and regulations ?
To what extent is the implementation of common European policies a burden for European companies ? Could these policies be an incentive to develop competitivity and innovation capacity ?
Whereas savings are important, investments are scarce in Europe. Companies are used to financing their development mainly upon external growth (Fusion and Acquisitions). How can the need of European growth be financed ? Should a new impetus be given to the European financial market integration and a better company control be ensured in order to fight against the lack of investment the European zone is facing ?
