In a thought-provoking joint opinion piece for the Financial Times, two leading European Union officials underscored the critical need for the EU to implement significant reforms to enhance its trade competitiveness. They cautioned that without these reforms, the EU's economic stability and global influence could be jeopardized.
Among the essential reforms highlighted is the push to decarbonize the economy. This initiative aims to promote sustainable practices while allowing member states the flexibility to choose their methods, potentially benefiting various energy sectors across the region.
The officials also emphasized the importance of completing the EU's single financial market. They proposed the establishment of common insolvency, tax, and investment frameworks to foster a more integrated and resilient economic environment. These changes are seen as vital to maintaining the EU's position in global trade.
"We cannot take for granted the foundations on which we have built our European way of living and our role in the world," the officials wrote. "Our Europe is mortal, and we must rise to the challenge."
