The response to the war in Ukraine has had a major impact on shaping the EU's strategic
00:05
agenda, a political roadmap that the next Commission must follow until 2029, designed
00:11
by the European Council. As an analyst weighing on it, the Union has said it will not give
00:17
up on the Green Deal and the digital agenda, but there is a shift in focus towards security
00:22
and autonomy.
00:24
Now the green transition, green policies are taking another spin in Europe. They are put
00:30
at the service of competitiveness on the one hand and security on the other, which makes
00:36
sense because over the last five years we have done a lot of legislation with the European
00:41
Green Deal and now we need to turn into implementation.
00:44
A strong and secure Europe and a prosperous and competitive Europe are the main drivers
00:50
of the agenda. It will be materialised by greater industrial capacity in civil and military
00:56
terms also to reduce dependence on the USA.
00:59
There is another element which is very important here, which is of course the US election and
01:05
what happens if Trump is back at the White House and what happens to Europe in terms
01:10
of its own defence capabilities in case of a, let's say, withdrawal or less support by
01:18
the United States also in the context of NATO.
01:22
Analysts agree that the willpower of the 27 EU leaders for this remain unquestioned, but
01:27
what about the money needed to make it a reality?
01:31
First of all, we need to use the European budget in a better way. So there is the whole
01:36
discussion about how is the new EU budget going to look like, how are we going to spend
01:40
this money and what is going to be the size of it. The second is the European Investment
01:45
Bank which will certainly play a greater role in the coming years when it comes to
01:49
all these elements. And finally, new debt. Is there the possibility to create a new facility
01:56
after the end of Next Generation EU in 2026?
01:59
The agenda also includes a chapter called Free and Democratic Europe to strengthen the
02:05
rule of law. The adoption of the agenda will take place during the next EU summit on June
02:09
27th and 28th in Brussels.
