	BUSINESSEUROPE supports the agreement by euro area leaders to reinforce the euro through both the introduction of a new ‘fiscal compact’ to increase budgetary discipline in Member States and improvements in the capacity and flexibility of the EFSF/ESM. Both of these developments are in line with the statement it published this week: "Businesses’ Plan to Safeguard the Euro".
