| Director General Markus J. Beyrer underlined that social progress can only be built on economic success in his keynote speech. European companies are committed to playing their role in society, but unfortunately, they are held back by high energy costs, excessive regulation and skills and labour shortages. This hampers Europe’s economic growth |
| and undermines their ability to deliver social progress. For BusinessEurope, the European social agenda should move away from a predominantly regulatory approach to social policy, promote mobility in our Single Market and address labour shortages as well as skills mismatches. |
