This year of transition was marked by many milestones in EU politics, starting with the European Parliament elections. The outcome of the elections demonstrated significant shifts in the power structures. Ursula von der Leyen was reappointed as president of the European Commission, issued the Political Guidelines and this
week announced the proposed composition of the College of Commissioners.
The guidelines cover:
Competitiveness and technology
Resilience and economic security
Industrial policy
Boosting the defence industry
Livelihood, welfare and security
Enlargement
Implementation of adopted legislations (European Green Deal, Climate targets, etc.)
We analyse these key developments in this insight as we embark into the last step before the next five-year policy cycle formally commences.
