The Concordia Employers’ Confederation has opened a permanent office in Brussels to strengthen the involvement of Romanian companies in shaping European policies before they are adopted. The new structure will represent the interests of Romania’s business community and will monitor dossiers affecting companies.

The office, led by Adelina Dabu, Director of European and International Affairs at Concordia, will serve as a channel for institutional dialogue and early warning. It will connect the organization with BusinessEurope, employers’ confederations in the member states, the European Economic and Social Committee, and the institutions of the European Union. Global economic relations will also be coordinated through the organizations in Paris and Geneva.

Priorities include the EU budget, corporate financing, reducing bureaucracy, supporting SMEs, labor market rules, and European energy policy. Concordia already has four representatives on the EESC and will form coalitions with employers’ organizations from other member states.

Concordia President Dan Șucu emphasized that decisions made in Brussels directly influence energy costs, access to capital, hiring, and the growth prospects of Romanian companies. He advocated maintaining cohesion policy and balancing investments aimed at reducing disparities with funding for competitive European champions operating globally.

According to Concordia, in nearly two decades since Romania joined the EU, the country’s economy has tripled, while per capita income has risen from below 50% to almost 80% of the European average.

Context: Concordia își pregătește implicarea la Bruxelles, în timp ce mediul de afaceri urmărește dosare europene cu impact direct asupra costurilor și investițiilor

Înainte de deschiderea biroului permanent la Bruxelles, mediul de afaceri românesc a fost deja activ în discuții și inițiative care vizează influențarea agendei europene. În energie, de exemplu, România a participat prin Federația Patronală a Energiei la o alianță regională care urmărește coordonarea pozițiilor privind securitatea aprovizionării, competitivitatea și investițiile, tocmai pentru a avea un canal mai structurat de dialog cu autoritățile și instituțiile europene.

Totodată, în spațiul public au existat și tensiuni legate de modul în care deciziile europene ajung să se reflecte în economie și în condițiile de muncă. Sindicaliștii au protestat la Bruxelles pentru deblocarea negocierilor colective și pentru majorarea salariului minim, cerând sprijin pentru aplicarea directivelor europene și extinderea dialogului social, semnalând astfel cât de direct pot fi afectate companiile de schimbările de la nivel UE.

În acest context, preocuparea pentru dosarele europene cu efect asupra mediului economic a fost prezentă și în dezbateri interne despre politici și finanțări, inclusiv despre felul în care România poate gestiona investițiile și competitivitatea în raport cu prioritățile europene. În paralel, au existat și inițiative de reprezentare și coordonare care urmăresc să conecteze mai bine interesele actorilor economici la nivel european.
