AmCham EU has joined 22 other business, financial and professional associations in calling on Member States to reach agreement on the Commission’s Tax Simplification Package. The measures could save businesses operating in Europe around €8 billion a year, money currently absorbed by complexity rather than invested in growth. Agreement will only matter if the package’s ambition survives the negotiations. Read the full joint statement 👉 amchameu.eu/position-papers/…

Labas from Vilnius 👋 We’re two days into our delegation in Vilnius, ahead of Lithuania taking over the Presidency of the Council of the EU in January 2027. So far we’ve met Kęstutis Budrys, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Lukas Savickas, Minister of Energy, along with Vice-Ministers Guoda Burokienė and Tomas Juočys, as well as Kara McDonald, US Ambassador to Lithuania. Our message throughout has been that the EU’s competitiveness agenda cannot lose steam. Businesses need to start feeling simplification in their day-to-day operations, and a Single Market that stays open to investors will be stronger for it. Thank you to everyone for the open and constructive conversations so far on what Lithuania wants to achieve during its Presidency and how business can help.

A stronger Europe starts with a stronger economy. President von der Leyen’s #SOTEU set out an ambitious agenda for a stronger Europe. Delivering it will depend on whether the EU can create the conditions for businesses to invest, innovate and grow. That means moving faster on simplification, tackling fragmentation in the Single Market and staying open to the partnerships that strengthen Europe’s resilience. It also means ensuring that competitiveness and the climate transition reinforce, rather than work against, one another. For American companies invested in Europe, the equation is simple: a stronger, more unified Europe is a more attractive Europe. See more from our CEO here amchameu.eu/blog/a-strong-eu…
