In the run up to the EU elections, EFB, together with the European business community, released a joint statement to urge the citizens of Europe to vote.  In the statement we noted: 

‘The European Union is one of, if not the greatest, achievements of our shared history. It has provided for long-lasting peace across our continent and has brought European people together around the fundamental values of democracy, human rights, freedom and equality.
The European business community remains committed to defending these common values and strongly believes in the benefits of the European Union, particularly its Single Market and our common currency, the Euro. Despite various challenges, the EU project has remained resilient and strong and even though not yet perfect in many regards, the positive impacts of EU integration by far outweigh the negative’.
