Its Chairman, Mr François Ceyrac, presided. ESC Chairman comments on Stuttgart Summit At the opening of the Plenary Session. Mr Ceyrac declared: "The striking thing about the outcome of the Stuttgart summit is the increasing gap between the concerns of European business and labour circles and those responsible for governing the Community". The representatives of socio-professional groups expected this summit to give a new impetus to the Community, to boost economic policies likely to help recovery, to improve the co-ordination of these same policies and to reduce monetary instability.
