Very constructive discussion with Ursula von der Leyen on the challenges currently facing European businesses.
Good discussion with @BusinessEurope
We share the same sense of urgency.
And the same conviction that the profound changes reshaping the world are an opportunity to build a stronger, more independent Europe.
We discussed Europe’s competitiveness strategy and what it will take to deliver it.
Success requires everyone on board, and especially European industry and businesses.
I outlined the main pillars:
Simpler rules - for everyone.
More resilient supply chains, built through a network of trusted partners.
A deeper Single Market:
– where innovative startups can grow and scale across borders
– where they can tap into a fully fledged capital market
– and where they can access affordable energy
A continent that puts AI first
And a continent that believes in science, innovation, and the talent of its people, equipped with the right skills

It is good that @EU_Commission has shown the will to simplify #CBAM. Ensuring the future competitiveness of the export-oriented machinery & plant industry is key if the sector is to thrive and continue producing climate-friendly technologies in 🇪🇺.

The left side is in grayscale and depicts a polluted, industrialized world with oil pumps, smokestacks emitting thick smoke, cut tree stumps, and a woman driving a car surrounded by pollution. The right side is colorful and represents a clean, sustainable future with wind turbines, solar panels, green hills, trees, and a woman in safety gear working in the renewable energy sector. The text at the top reads 'OUR CHOICE IS CLEAR,' with 'IS CLEAR' highlighted in blue. The European Commission logo is in the top right corner.
