Unite, defend, grow: EU policy for the next five years
The Memos to the European Union leadership have been a Bruegel tradition since 2009. Every five years – after the European elections but before a new European Commission takes office – we take stock of EU economic policies, reflect on the EU’s main challenges, make recommendations on how the new leadership should address them.
In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Rebecca Christie invites the book’s editors, Maria Demertzis, André Sapir and Jeromin Zettelmeyer, to unpack the crown memo to the Presidents of the European Commission, Council and Parliament. Their key takeaways are: support Ukraine; work toward the 2040 climate goals; and defend competition, openness and multilateralism.
