EPP adopts position paper on EU2020
The European People’s Party has adopted in its Working Group on Economic Policy a position paper on EU’s new strategy for sustainable economic growth, the EU2020 strategy . The Working Group is co-chaired by EPP Vice President MEP Gunnar Hökmark, who explains:
“EU’s 2020 strategy is a step in the right direction, but the urgency of this reform process must be further reinforced. We, therefore, call for a 2020 strategy, which clearly spells out what the EU can do today to promote sustainable economic growth, job development and cohesion in Europe. Actions to bring down public deficits in order to restore confidence in European economies and the Euro must be the first priority of the 2020 strategy. There will be no growth unless Europe rapidly returns to long term sustainable public finances.”
