Draghi Report: Ten Key Points to Save Europe

The Draghi report (170 proposals in 400 pages, with a hypothesis of 800 billion euros of investments per year), like the Letta report on the Single Market presented in April, are the two analysis tools that the European Commission requested, a year ago, as part of a broad program to support the Union’s competitiveness. “The last four years – said Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, referring to the Covid epidemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt the importance of strengthening our competitiveness. The Draghi report was created through a broad series of consultations and contributions from various European actors. Its presentation, scheduled before the June elections, was delayed, according to press leaks, both due to Draghi’s position in favor of a very broad recourse to European debt, and due to the doubts of the former president of the European Central Bank regarding the green deal, which would have created some friction – precisely in view of the vote – with the Commission itself.
