European business association EuroCommerce urges both the EU and US to capitalize on the opportunity presented by a tariff suspension.
In the heart of Europe's economic landscape, EuroCommerce stands as a beacon, supporting millions of jobs and careers across the continent. This powerful organisation, recognised as the European social partner for the retail and wholesale sector, represents over 5 million companies - from small, local suppliers to global players.
Spanning 28 European countries, EuroCommerce plays a vital role in distributing goods over a billion times daily, ensuring that businesses and individual customers receive the products they need. This essential service supports one in seven jobs in Europe, making it a significant contributor to the continent's employment market.
The diversity of EuroCommerce is evident in the range of careers it offers. From entry-level positions to senior roles, many of these opportunities are held by young people, providing a stepping stone for the next generation of European workers. The organisation's reach extends beyond national borders, with careers available to 26 million Europeans in total.
EuroCommerce's influence extends beyond its economic impact. The European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, and the European Council President, Charles Michel, have called for the use of the current US tariff increase as an opportunity to engage in transatlantic dialogues. The aim is to address global trade challenges and protect consumers, with EuroCommerce likely to play a key role in these discussions.
In summary, EuroCommerce is more than just a trade organisation. It is an essential part of Europe's economic fabric, providing jobs, services, and opportunities for millions of people across the continent. As global trade continues to evolve, EuroCommerce will undoubtedly remain at the forefront, driving progress and shaping the future of Europe's retail and wholesale sectors.
