The EPP Group works in the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs to reconcile different interests with a view to promoting a common goal: the improvement of the efficiency of the EU economy and the increase of living standards in the EU.
We are striving for a European Union that is competitive in world markets, and that is capable of producing wealth for its citizens to ensure the social well-being of all. The sustainability of our economies - especially in view of the demographic challenge - and globalisation are key elements of our economic policies.
