Two months before the elections to the European Parliament, representatives of Czech business organizations met with candidates to Members of the European Parliament to present them their priorities for the 2019-2024 legislative term. Representatives of the founders of CEBRE – Czech Chamber of Commerce, Confederation of Employers’ and Entrepreneurs’ Associations of the Czech Republic and Confederation of Industry of the Czech Republic explained the candidates their requirements in the areas of the single market, trade policy, data economy, environmental policy and labour market. Businesses create jobs and GDP, and therefore CEBRE founders believe that elected MEPs will hear their demands.
