Q&A
13:45-14:00Since 2022, Europe has been navigating a series of rapid and interconnected crises—environmental, geopolitical, and energy—that have intensified the pace of change across the continent. In light of these changes, the Attali Commission's recent paper underscores the critical importance of adopting a long-term perspective. A few months earlier, ruling on the same background, Enrico Letta presented to the European Council, which had commissioned him to do so, a report on the future of the European single market, calling for a decisive EU action, in particular the acceleration of European integration in the financial, telecoms, energy and defense sectors.
Drawing on the content of these two reports, this event aimed to foster a better understanding of how we can collectively address today’s challenges, while putting the long term at the heart of our decisions.
