The Draghi report must become the European Union’s agenda

ByRedazione

9th September 2024 – Sandro Gozi today expressed his full support for the report on European competitiveness presented by Mario Draghi, former Italian Prime Minister and ex-President of the ECB.

‘Mario Draghi’s report offers an ambitious and far-sighted vision for relaunching the European Union. It is essential that the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, incorporates this strategy into her programme for the next five years’, said Sandro Gozi.

The report proposes key reforms, including strengthening the effectiveness and legitimacy of the European institutions, increasing investment in the face of the global economic challenges posed by the United States and China, and creating a genuine European defence.

‘The time has come to show courage and determination to transform the European Union into a truly sovereign, democratic and competitive power’, concluded Sandro Gozi.

From SURE 15-20 billion, from the EIB 35 billion, from the ESM 36 billion, as an ‘extra’ from the EU budget 2014-2020 another 6/7 billion. To which is now added Ursula Von der Leyen’s proposal, Next Generation, which envisages 80 billion in grants and 90 billion in loans, again for Italy. Total: 250-255 billion, about 15% of Italy’s GDP.

For Sandro Gozi the challenge is the relaunch of relations between the EU and the UK. The Renew Europe MEP and secretary general of the European Democratic Party – elected president of the Delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly for the Partnership between the EU and the UK – believes that there is room ‘to establish new forms of cooperation’ and that we must learn the lesson from Labour’s success: ‘Elections are won in the centre’.
