MEPs debate on the future of European competitiveness. Parliament debate the findings of the Draghi's report on a blueprint for boosting Europe’s competitiveness after his address.

It proposes far-reaching changes to numerous areas such as an “unprecedented” boost to public investment, including through the issuance of new EU common debt, a reform of the EU’s cohesion policy, an overhaul of competition policy, and a new industrial policy with at its core a strategy for reducing Europe’s high energy prices.
