French EU Presidency: No to Corporate Gifts!
- politics and law
From Coca-Cola branding in meeting areas, to fleets of BMW cars carrying ministers around, or DHL and Microsoft logos being plastered on EU Presidency websites - dodgy corporate deals in the six month rotating Presidency of the EU has become the norm. On 1st January 2022, the French government will kick off it’s own turn at the helm of the Council of the EU, and it is time we sent a clear message to President Emmanuel Macron to say NO to any sponsorship deals for the Council presidency. France must give a strong message to citizens and other member states that these dodgy deals have no place in our democracy!
