Minister calls for ‘European solutions’ to strengthen competitiveness
European Union Affairs Minister Janos Boka said "European solutions" were necessary to strengthen the EU's competitiveness, ones that were supported by cultural, political and historical traditions, in a presentation delivered at a meeting of the heads of the Association of European Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Eurochambres) in Budapest on Wednesday.
Boka said European values couldn’t be sacrificed in the interest of catching up with the United States and China. He added that Hungary’s presidency of the Council of the EU aimed to start the debate on steps to address the EU’s competitiveness.
He said Hungary wanted to see a new EU competitiveness deal signed in Budapest in November.
