In 2025, Young Voices launched a new initiative.

The Liberty Comms Lab is a year-long programme to transform the PR game of think tanks in continental Europe.

Last month, I led a summit in Switzerland for 10 organisations from across the continent.

🌍⚖️ Innovation, not imposition: Only free markets can cut carbon without capsising Europe.

📜💼 As Environment Ministers convene tomorrow to hash out the 90% GHG cut by 2040, remember: true green prosperity blooms from market-driven innovation, not top-down quotas.

🖥️💶 The digital euro is an unnecessary, costly solution in search of a problem.

💼📉 Driven by political momentum despite public disinterest, especially among those it claims to include, it risks duplicating existing services and threatening to financial stability.

🤔📜 Which working programme would contribute more to the EU’s economic competitiveness? The leaked programme of the upcoming Cypriot Council Presidency, or the European Commission’s version?

🧵👇

[EPICENTER - European Policy Information Center @epicenterEU]

🏢 The Commission’s version is introducing many new rules on jobs, tech, and even on housing.

📈 Can the two programmes align to make Europe more competitive and kickstart economic growth?

📜📉 All the talk of simplifying the EU economy feels like empty promises when the @EU_Commission plans to churn out a whopping 32 new initiatives.

✅️ That's why we made the Regulatory Observatory, letting experts hold the EU to their word. 👇

🚀 Europe needs smarter rules, not just more of them.

🧭 The goal should be a digital framework that builds trust, supports innovation, and keeps markets open.

💻 The EU’s new Digital Fairness Act promises to make online markets safer and more transparent for consumers.

🤔 But behind the good intentions lie serious risks of overregulation and added complexity.

Here’s a thread on our latest briefing 👇

1/5

[EPICENTER - European Policy Information Center @epicenterEU]

🧩 The real issue isn’t a lack of rules, but weak enforcement of existing ones.

🧠Rather than creating new overlapping regimes, the EU should focus on clearer definitions and smarter coordination.

🎯Rules should be proportionate and targeted at specific harms.
