On 9 September 2024, The Future of European Competitiveness report was published. In the report, Mario Draghi paints an alarming picture of the state of European competitiveness, highlighting the fact that we are lagging behind the USA and China technologically and economically.
He has drawn up a list of 170 proposals for responding to this existential challenge. Some of these have long been called for by Rassemblement National MEPs, for example the need to reform the EU’s electricity market, cut red tape and curb the Commission’s legislative expansion.
Other proposals, such as extending qualified majority voting to all policy areas, are direct attacks on the sovereignty of European nations. That specific proposal would mean that Member States could no longer oppose any future EU enlargement or any action that the Commission wished to take which ran counter to national interests.
Considering that certain political groups in the European Parliament have long been advocating for some of the proposals in the Draghi report, could the Commission state which ones it intends to follow?
