BUSINESSEUROPE, the Polish business federation LEWIATAN and business associations from the Eastern Partnership countries (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine) met in Sopot, Poland on 30 September 2011 to call for concrete progress in implementing the Eastern Partnership Strategy.
PKPP Lewiatan President Henryka Bochniarz said: The Eastern Partnership is only a tool for those willing, a platform to design and discuss future solutions in social life and the economy. We declare our readiness to share our experience with the relevant organizations from the Eastern Partnership countries. For those willing we can act as guide to Europe.

BUSINESSEUROPE Director General Philippe de Buck said: "Free trade agreements and regulatory convergence will expand the EU Single Market to the Eastern Partners generating large trade and investment opportunities. But capacity building is essential to make sure that companies can implement the new rules in the Eastern countries. "
