Union of Industrial and Employers' Confederations of Europe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Union of Industrial and Employers' Confederations of Europe, commonly known as UNICE, is a Brussels-based European association of industries and employers. On 23 January 2007 this organization changed its name to BUSINESSEUROPE (www.businesseurope.eu)
It was founded in 1958 to drive the creation of the European Union as a free trade zone. Together with the Federation of European Employers and the European Round Table of Industrialists, BUSINESSEUROPE has been one of the principal advocates of the EU treaties prior to their negotiation, and major backers of the international European movement. It is also one of the European social partners, representing private employers at the interprofessional level.
