🔸”Wind of change” was the motto of the conference organised by the EUROPEUM Brussels Office (see https://lnkd.in/dyr4AtH5 ) about the changing role of Central Europe within the EU. The countries of this region have common features, therefore common interests as well. 🔸The Central European region so far is significantly underrepresented in the European debates. The greater growth potential should have been factored in by the Draghi report. However, among hundreds of sources of the Draghi report, perhaps just one originated from the Eastern EU countries. 🔸Central Europeans should develop a coordinated strategy and representation ahead of the upcoming debates on the EU MFF. CE countries are stakeholders in Cohesion Policy as well as CAP. However, these items cannot remain the sole focus of CE efforts. For example, there should be an endeavour to increase participation in Horizon Europe. More elements of my intervention here: https://lnkd.in/dP-zTkM5

This year, EUROsimA will be hosting a Futuristic European Council committee for the first time since 2018. And this year, to meet the expections of those long years filled with yearning, we will travel to the year 2033 when the European Union that is ever more threatened by mounting political and economic problems! Are the treaties that function as the Union's foundational pillars still effective for solving those problems after decades or does the European Union need to be self-critical and search for new alternatives? It is exactly those ontological questions to which the leaders of the EU's 30 member states should find an answer. Under-Secretary-General Emre Türker and Academic Assistant Burak Yağız Güllü are responsible for the appreciable work done behind the scenes of the Futuristic European Council.

Here is me sharing some thoughts on Mario Draghi's new report about competitiveness in the EU.

I had the pleasure of attending United Europe e.V.'s lunch on Franco-German partnerships, where we discussed the future of the EU’s Single Market with Mr. Enrico Letta, President of the Jacques Delors Institute and former Italian Prime Minister. Our conversation highlighted the significant work still ahead to tackle tomorrow’s challenges. Advancing integration within the Single Market—particularly in financial sectors and in anticipation of future EU enlargements—will be key to strengthening Europe’s resilience, competitiveness, and unity in the face of rising global threats. I highly recommend reading Mr. Letta’s book for deeper insights and as well as the report 'Much More than Just a Market'. It outlines practical, actionable steps that can be taken swiftly within the framework of our existing treaties to advance this field effectively.
