Invited by the Chamber of Commerce for its back-to-school event, Enrico Letta stressed the urgent need to build a competitive and innovative Europe. Letta is responsible for a report on the future of the single market, published in 2024 and adopted by the European Council. For him, the single market is the key to the continent’s future. And while reports of this kind are often overlooked, its author can take heart from the fact that, during the State of the European Union address delivered by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on 10 September, she made the “important and strict” commitment to complete the single market by 2028.
