Can the EU deliver?
Last month, Political Intelligence Brussels gathered experts from across sectors of EU policymaking for a breakfast event hosted at the PI’s office to address the European Union’s challenges in its Simplification Effort.
We were honoured to be joined by our expert guest speakers from across the different areas of policy implementation. From the European Parliament we were joined by Bruno Tobback, MEP of the Socialists and Democrats Group; and from the European Commission by Laurence de Richemont from DG GROW, and Diana Vlad-Calcic from DG CNECT.
The Debate was moderated by Political Intelligence Brussels’ own Managing Partner, Matti Van Hecke, under Chatham House Rules. We were proud to provide an environment where our panellists and industry representatives had a candid conversation on what simplification means for the European Union’s future.
Important issues were brought up during the conversation, such as:
- How to ensure that the various omnibus packages have a real impact on simplifying procedures without losing legal certainty.
- How the EU can provide user-friendly guidance to help businesses, particularly SMEs, navigate complex EU processes effectively.
- And ultimately, how the EU can remain relevant, competitive and innovative through these simplification efforts.
We would like to thank all participants and attendees for taking part in this debate and hope to host future conversations on important issues for European Union policymaking. Get in contact with us for information.
