Europe - EU aims to help workers, curb populism (The Wall Street Journal)

28 August 2016

However, the proposal has drawn concerns from businesses. “My biggest worry is that you promise things you cannot deliver,” Guntram Wolff, director of Brussels-based think tank Bruegel, told The Wall Street Journal. “This is very likely where many of the tools and resources are at national level. That would be devastating for the reputation of the European Union.”
