Brussels – One year after the Draghi report on competitiveness, the European Union is not in good shape. Not so much in terms of reforms, all of which take time to implement, but because “there is a lack of a sense of urgency, and a lack of coordination on the implementation”<\/strong> of\u00a0measures needed to enable the EU to change pace, said\u00a0Antonios Nestoras<\/strong>, founder and director of the European Council for Policy Innovation (EPIC<\/a>).\u00a0Speaking at the European Parliament, he presented the special ‘Draghi Observatory’, a platform designed to track the progress of the measures outlined by the former ECB president and Italian prime minister in the report commissioned to him at the end of 2023 to help relaunch the EU.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Officially presented one year ago, on 9 September 2024<\/a>, the Draghi report\u00a0“is a good report,” Nestoras reiterated during the event<\/a> hosted by the liberal group (Renew Europe, RE). “We know the report in its substance and quality; the key thing now is implementation,<\/strong>” on which the EU as a whole appears to be lagging.<\/p>\n

According to the data compiled so far by EPIC through its observatory,\u00a0only\u00a011.2 percent <\/strong>of the measures proposed to boost Europe’s competitiveness have been completed<\/strong>, compared to 20.1 percent partially implemented, 46 percent in progress, and 22.7 percent not implemented at all. “The work is complex, the challenges are enormous, both on the legislative side and in terms of institutional resistance, but the numbers show that there is a lack of sense of urgency,” Nestoras insists. He is\u00a0all the more convinced of the usefulness of the special observatory. “This tool is also useful for the Commission itself, to evaluate efforts and work done.”<\/p>\n
