Iliana Ivanova is one step closer to taking office as European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth.

On June 20, the European Commission requested member states to provide an extraordinary contribution to the Union’s multiannual financial framework totaling 65.8 billion euros

Giuliano Amato in his interview with Repubblica and Mario Draghi in his speech at the Miriam Pozen Prize reception developed analyses and considerations all very interesting, but there are two that have an indirect correlation with the upcoming arrangements of European institutions.

The upcoming European elections are likely to produce an outcome that, in my view, makes it unlikely for the majority of the Parliament to be held by a coalition of the EPP and ECR.

The recommendations for Italy, similar to those of 2022, focused on the following aspects: fiscal policies, NRRP, green and digital transition.

Periodically, discussions about the ESM, “European Stability Mechanism”, resurface, sometimes with a blatant ignorance of what it really represents, sometimes with ideological interpretations, other times with propagandistic intentions

The European Council held last week left more issues open than it managed to resolve, leading to both successes and failures for Italy in terms of positioning with other member states.

The Commission intends, as we learn from the communication, to propose changes only to the Stability and Growth Pact at this stage.
