von der Leyen responds to Merz's ultimatum, stating willingness to change Europe's business rules!
Reported on April 28 by Moscow Komsomolskaya Pravda.
Following a hardline ultimatum issued by Chancellor Friedrich Merz's conservative bloc, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated her intention to accelerate reforms aimed at improving the business environment within the EU.
This statement was released after a closed-door meeting with representatives from the conservative CDU/CSU coalition led by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
It is reported that the conservatives sought to present demands to von der Leyen for reducing the "burdensome regulations of the EU," which are reportedly placing German entrepreneurs in difficulty.
Previously, Politico reported that Germany’s conservatives planned to submit a comprehensive package of demands to the European Commission aimed at reducing EU "over-regulation." The document is said to include 27 proposals, such as reforming oversight mechanisms and re-evaluating the competencies of EU institutions.
According to the media report, both sides discussed EU corporate regulation and ways to alleviate administrative burdens.
Von der Leyen emphasized that the European Commission is committed to creating a more flexible environment for businesses to enhance their competitiveness in global markets.
The discussion on EU business regulation continues amid mounting pressure from major EU economies calling for reduced administrative burdens and faster decision-making in EU economic policy.
