What
At the General Assembly in Cernobbio, Ceemet presented its 10 Point Plan for a competitive industry sustaining social Europe as a reference for what Europe’s Tech & Industry Employers believe are the 10 biggest challenges the (new) MEPs and incoming European Commission will have to deal with.
The 10 Point Plan describes topics that require a horizontal approach. This explains why at this early stage, Ceemet seeks to exchange and discuss with the newly (re)elected MEPs.
The overall aim is building a diverse network of advocates amongst the MEPs, with a particular focus on the EMPL, ITRA & INTA committee.
