Kryzys finansowy

Crisis or not, we are now working in an open trading area, and in a globalised world. Europe will not build a sustainable society that is prosperous in the long term without the rest of the world. We need to share the same objectives even if we don't use the same tools.
As an open globalised economy we must TOGETHER identify and share good practices. It is in all our interests.
The role of entrepreneurs in channelling such investment for economic recovery is key to ensuring a competitive and dynamic economy. To make sure that this renewed economy is sustainable in the future, we must invest in education in entrepreneurship.
We must focus on untapped human capital. This mainly means young people, women, older workers, migrants and other vulnerable groups.

This conference comes very timely. We all can feel that European governments and citizens are waiting for the results of the elections in Greece. Only then European Member States will be able to meet again and to decide what solutions we can create together to boost European Growth.

Lors de sa session plénière des 22 et 23 février 2012 (séance du 22 février 2012), le Comité économique et social européen a exprimé sa vive préoccupation sur l'état de l'Union, a adressé un appel pressant aux institutions européennes et aux gouvernements des Etats membres afin qu'ils fassent tout ce qui est en leur pouvoir pour réaffirmer dans les faits la valeur absolue et indispensable de l'unité européenne et a adopté la présente résolution.
