TechSverige in *The Economist* on the EU’s reform agenda 

Fredrik Sand, TechSverige’s economic policy expert, contributes today to an analysis in *The Economist* on the EU’s efforts to strengthen its competitiveness. 

The article describes how the EU is now working to reduce the regulatory burden, simplify procedures for businesses, and deepen the single market following a prolonged period of weaker economic growth compared to the United States. The reforms aim both to lower administrative costs and to make it easier to operate across borders—but also to strengthen Europe’s economic and security policy position. 

In the article, Fredrik Sand comments on the EU’s proposal for a so-called “28th regulatory framework,” a common framework for businesses designed to make it easier to operate throughout the EU: 

“We want to be positive about this, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution.” 

For TechSverige, issues related to regulatory burden, competitiveness, and the single market are of critical importance. TechSverige advocates for simpler and more predictable regulations and a European market that can withstand global competition and fully harness the tech industry’s potential for growth, innovation, and security.
