This Declaration captures the strong feeling across the European Chamber network that the needs of entrepreneurs cannot taken for granted and must be central to policy processes, starting at EU level.” The Declaration also highlights the important socio-economic role of entrepreneurs: “It is superficial to view entrepreneurs merely as job providers and tax generators. They are also educators, innovators, creators, community members and much more”, President Leitl added.
