Brussels, 21 November 2024

Specialised Nutrition Europe (SNE) has joined 42 other business associations in signing the EU Business Joint Declaration - Championing Open Trade for a Prosperous Future.

Formed in July, the Coalition now represents 43 business associations united in their belief that trade openness is critical for the EU to remain competitive, resilient, and prosperous in the face of global challenges.

"The message from the Open Trade Coalition to the incoming Commission is therefore loud and clear: an ambitious open trade must become a top priority and leitmotiv over the next five years to keep Europe competitive, prosperous, and resilient on the world stage."

The coalition’s renewed Declaration includes a number of specific policy recommendations, including:

• the speedy adoption and implementation of all concluded trade agreements,
• the swift completion of ongoing trade negotiations,
• a proactive market access agenda to lower trade barriers,
• a fair and predictable trade environment supported by multilateralism,
• a more robust trade diplomacy.
