A pan-European organization representing European business and labor community celebrated that
00:08
the center has held in the European Parliament after Sunday's election.
00:13
They say that the previous Parliament's Green Deal could be reassessed.
00:19
According to Eurochambers, the EU needs to overcome its weaknesses compared to the US
00:24
and China in critical areas, namely manufacturing and clean technology.
00:28
"We've had a lot of concerns with the amount of legislation that the Green Deal has led
00:33
to.
00:34
It implies a lot of burdens for businesses, a lot of compliance and reporting burdens.
00:39
So one of our strong messages to the new members of the European Parliament and the new institutions
00:44
is that we need to slow down before we start bringing in possible new legislation."
00:52
Eurochambers told Euronews they advocate for a strong single market in order for a more
00:57
autonomous European Union.
01:00
"We need to tackle those fundamental structural challenges that businesses are encountering,
01:07
particularly manufacturing sectors, energy costs, access to raw materials, access to
01:13
supplies in general."
01:17
Unions representing workers' interests across Europe stressed during the campaign that the
01:21
cost of living needs to be a priority.
01:24
The election results show that the left and Green parties have declined in the current
01:28
parliament, but there is still a good majority to advance the EU's social agenda and welfare
01:33
model.
01:34
"So most important, no deals with the far right.
01:41
That's the most important.
01:43
They can't be trusted.
01:44
And at every single opportunity in the past, they voted against working people and their
01:49
interests."
01:50
Migration also dominated the far right's electoral campaign.
02:00
"Migrant workers are very often the victims of exploitation by unscrupulous employers.
02:07
We need to make sure that all workers are covered by fair terms and conditions of employment,
02:13
that all workers, no matter where they're from or who they are or what jobs they do,
02:17
they can join a union and that they can bargain for a fair wage."
02:22
When it comes to renewing the Green Deal, the European Trade Union Confederation advocates
02:27
for more social investment and a new EU Just Transition Directive.
