The eagerly awaited #LettaReport on how to revive & complete one of the EU’s most significant ever projects, the #SingleMarket, will be presented to the @EUCouncil #EUCO this evening. The fruit of 400 mtgs in 65 cities, it is perfectly timed to serve as a roadmap for the coming 2024-29 🇪🇺 political cycle. My “top picks” in this 🧵…
@EnricoLetta proposes to add a new 5th “freedom”, adapted to the 21st Century, to EU #SingleMarket’s original “4 freedoms” of movement covering #goods, #services, #people & #capital, namely “#research & #innovation” which he identifies as key #resource drivers of future growth in #RandD #Quantum #DataUtilisation #AI #Computing #Biotech #Biorobotics #Space
He has singled out #Energy, #finance, & #telecoms as priority fields for action. The failure to integrate the single market for energy, finance & telecom “now represent a major brake to #growth & #innovation in sectors where global competition & strategic considerations” call for action at #EU level
