How can the EU measure up economically with giants like the USA and China? The answer may come on Monday when the EU's most highly anticipated report is to be presented by the former head of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi.
A press conference with Draghi and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has been scheduled for 11 am on Monday, according to Commission spokesperson Éric Mamer in Brussels.
Last autumn, Draghi was tasked by von der Leyen to investigate how the EU can become more competitive. The idea is that the over 400-page report will now become an important input for the coming year on which paths the EU should take regarding industrial policy, trade, state aid, and other weighty issues.
