Position

Eurochambres positon on 2019-2024 von der Leyen Commission mid-term assessment

02/05/2022

The first half of the 2019-2024 Commission’s term has of course been massively impacted by the Covid-19 crisis and the war in Ukraine. Several of the priorities set out by Ursula von der Leyen at the start of her term as European Commission President have inevitably had to be reappraised in response to these considerable social, economic, and geopolitical developments and there will be a need for further recalibration as the recovery from the pandemic is pursued while the consequences of war are felt across Europe.
