EU Seminar: The future of Europe's finances

Margaret Thatcher’s “I want my money back”, Mark Rutte’s “Not a cent to the Greeks” and Mario Draghi’s “Whatever it takes”: many key moments in the history of European integration have been shaped by debates about money. The EU is now facing some existential questions that will decide its future, and many of them will require massive investments. How are we going to battle climate change and protect ourselves from energy insecurity? How do we keep our companies competitive in the global market? How are we going to defend ourselves? And – of course – how are we going to pay for all this? Join us for the EU seminar with MEP Margarida Marques (S&D), MEP Dorien Rookmaker (ECR), and Director at the DG Budget of the European Commission Eric von Breska, as explore the options for the EU's fiscal future.
