EU enlargement commissioner Marta Kos has urged European businesses to engage with candidate countries and help repeat the economic successes seen during previous rounds of EU enlargement, as new report findings from the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise revealed that a large proportion of companies remain hesitant to engage.
"Enlargement boosted exports, boosted supply chains and grew GDP," Commissioner Kos said in her address at a Swedish Enterprise event in Brussels. She further noted how past enlargements have brought strong returns for investors and prosperity to millions of people.
