On September 9, former Italian prime minister and European Central Bank president Mario Draghi presented his report on European competitiveness, commissioned a year ago by European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen. The report proposes ways of tackling two major issues: the lack of skills and the administrative "burden" on businesses.
The Draghi report on competitiveness, which covers a wide range of issues – including energy, digital and artificial intelligence, and rare materials – was submitted two days before the announcement of the 2024-2029 Commission. Reappointed Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, who commissioned the report a year ago, indicated that many of its elements and proposals would be incorporated into the mission statements of the new Commissioners.
