Unite, defend, grow: EU policy for the next five years

The Memos to the European Union leadership have been a Bruegel
tradition since 2009. Every five years – after the European
elections but before a new European Commission takes office – we
take stock of EU economic policies, reflect on the EU's main
challenges, make recommendations on how the new leadership should
address them.

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Rebecca Christie
invites the book's editors, Maria Demertzis, André Sapir and
Jeromin Zettelmeyer, to unpack the crown memo to the Presidents
of the European Commission, Council and Parliament. Their key
takeaways are: support Ukraine; work toward the 2040 climate
goals; and defend competition, openness and
multilateralism.

Bruegel holds its flagship event, the Bruegel Annual Meetings in
Brussels on 4-5 September 2024. It serves as the moment to launch
the Memos and discuss the issues with policy makers and experts.
