The European Justice Forum joins almost 20 business associations and federations in signing a joint business statement on the Directive on Representative Actions (Collective Redress). As the representatives of Europe’s business community, we wish to caution EU Member State governments and the European Parliament against rushing to conclude trilogue negotiations on the representative actions proposal and urge them to take due time to consider the complex issues still unresolved. EJF commits to continue contributing constructively to the discussions as necessary to achieve a balanced, fair, harmonized and effective EU justice system.
