Enrico Letta delivered a report<\/a> to the European Council in April 2024 on the future of the internal market. This was followed in September by Mario Draghi, ex-president of the European Central Bank and former Prime Minister of Italy, submitting a report to Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, on European competitiveness<\/a>. It stresses how Europe is increasingly falling behind the USA and China in global economic competition, a subject often broached in the columns of Futuribles<\/em>. Above and beyond its assertion that Europe is, in its own words, experiencing its \u201cslow death throes\u201d, the report stresses the urgent need to take action to rouse the continent (formulating 170 proposals to that end)\u2014an unambiguous message directed particularly to the recently refreshed European institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louis Gallois, Joint President of La Fabrique de l\u2019industrie<\/em> think-tank\u2014and also a former head of EADS (Airbus) and the French rail operator SNCF, and France\u2019s Chief Commissioner for Investment between 2012 and 2014\u2014had himself proposed a Pact for French Industrial Competitiveness <\/em>(2012) some 10\u00a0years before. He presents his analysis of the Draghi\u00a0Report here, starting out by noting Europe\u2019s comparative technological backwardness, the necessary and difficult balance to be struck between decarbonization and competitiveness, and Europe\u2019s dependence on the outside world. He then goes on to stress what a revival would entail in terms of breakthrough innovation, decarbonized energy and, lastly, financing. In conclusion, he writes that after the Draghi Report, \u201cWe shall not be able to say that we did not know\u201d; from now on, it is \u201cthe future of Europe that is being played out\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
