- Former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta suggests using European savings for the green and digital transition, pooling 10% of state aid, and initiating a new recovery plan to help the European economy catch up with the US.
- Letta presented his report on the internal market to the EU-27 in Brussels, highlighting that only a minority of companies and citizens in Europe fully benefit from the internal market, leading to the EU lagging behind the US and China.
- European companies underutilize economies of scale in sectors like energy, telecoms, and financial markets within the internal market. The market fragmentation hinders growth and competitiveness against global counterparts.
- Letta advocates for creating a fifth freedom for research, innovation, and skills within the internal market and updating competition rules in strategic sectors to promote European champions and ensure consumer protection.
