YouTube, 12.11.2024
Online Briefing
This online EPC Update and Post-summit Briefing analysed the results of the informal meeting of EU leaders in Budapest on 8 November and discuss the potential impact of the US elections and the collapse of the German coalition government.
Will EU leaders agree on a “New European Competitiveness Deal” and if so, what will it entail? Will they follow the recommendations made in the reports by Enrico Letta and Mario Draghi or shy away from implementing key elements? And will the EU27 be able to tackle possible contradictions between security, openness, access to technology, and competitiveness? Looking across the Atlantic, what are the potential political and economic consequences of the US elections and how will EU leaders react to the outcome? Will they be able to agree on a united approach towards the new administration in the White House or struggle to do so? And, last but not least, what impact will the collapse of the German coalition government and early elections in Spring 2025 have for Germany and the EU?
Speakers: Janis A. Emmanouilidis, Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Studies, European Policy Centre; Amut Möller, Director for European and Global Affairs and Head of Programme, European Policy Centre; Fabian Zuleeg, Chief Executive & Chief Economist, European Policy Centre
Moderator: Jacki Davis, Senior Adviser, European Policy Centre
