Abstract

It is fitting that the central speaking engagement of my official visit to Chile should take place before a distinguished gathering of businessmen such as this. In the global economy, on which Europe as well as Chile depends so heavily for future prosperity, it is business as much as public administration that calls the shots. Businessmen of partner nations must talk more, not only with each other but with their governments, in order to ensure that we on the political side understand what business needs for the decades ahead. In the case of Chile and Europe, the needs seem to me very much on the same lines.
