The #EuropeanSemester rightly points to competitiveness & resilience.

Now the focus must be on implementation: reducing Single Market barriers, supporting innovation & ensuring a predictable business environment 🎯

[European Economic and Social Committee @EU_EESC]

We welcome the focus on structural challenges in the Spring Semester Package, but we call for bolder moves this Autumn.

We need:
📈 permanent fiscal capacity & joint debt to bridge the investment gap;
🛡️ a permanent SURE instrument to protect jobs.
