Tripartite Social Summit
“We need more Europe, not less Europe, we have no other alternative”
On 17 October 2011, CEC President Mr. Liarokapis attended the Autumn Tripartite Social Summit under the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union in presence of Mr. Van Rompuy President of the Council of the EU and Mr. Barroso, President of the European Commission. In this difficult time for Europe, with the crisis of the sovereign debt menacing several countries of bankruptcy, Mr. Liarokapis presented the conclusions of the CEC conference “Managers in an Economy in Crisis”.
In the context of the European crisis, CEC deliberately acted in the spirit of a European consensus which remains to be found, or even invented. CEC prepared timely initiatives (CEC conference on October 7), communicated at the right moment ten days later (Tripartite social summit on October 17), and certainly contributed to the solution adopted by the European Council on 27 October 2011. CEC believes that solutions adopted now for the Greek crisis will serve other countries in the Eurozone facing the same problems in the near future.
