Brussels helps countries to implement #reforms. But there's one reform that matters the most, says @ElisaFerreiraEC: a shift in mindset.
Europe cannot be a passive player & has got to have a strategic approach in the open, globalised market

The Council has reached a compromise on the reform of the EU fiscal rules. It’s a reasonable outcome. In some respects, it improves on the Commission’s April proposal. In others, it is worse. But it remains a big step forward compared to the current rules.
🤝 Last night's tentative agreement on a recast of the #FinancialRegulation will, among others:
🛡️ strengthen the protection of the #EUBudget
🔎 ensure transparency
🦺 bring real improvements for future better crisis management
📋 mean less administration for Member States. 1/2
@isfcentre This is true, but, de facto, the regulatory framework in its entirety could incentivise investing in taxo-aligned activities. For example, for banks, a Green Asset Ratio that denotes a non-tax aligned balance sheet may even feed into the share price of banks, in the future.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the single most important female lawyer in the history of the American republic. A fierce advocate of woman’s rights and justice for all people, she will be missed not only in the United States, but across the world. Rest in Power.
Europe has lost a great champion of peace.
John Hume dedicated his life to promoting tolerance, civil rights and social justice. His loss is felt by all who share in this struggle, in Northern Ireland, Ireland and across the world.
Rest in peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Πέντε χρόνια πριν σαν σήμερα, πάλι βράδυ Κυριακής. Ανεξίτηλες μνήμες. Για το τι θα μπορούσε να είχε συμβεί. Για το πως - και χάρη σε ποιους - απεφεύχθη. Η τελευταία πενταετία η καλύτερη δικαίωση για όσους εκτιμούν ότι η ευρωπαϊκή Ελλάδα δεν πρέπει ποτέ ξανά να βρεθεί σε κίνδυνο.
