Panel discussion - Building a competition framework that reinforces Europe’s ambitions

Information

  • Is the EU’s competition framework flexible enough to allow European industrial champions to emerge while concurrently protecting SMEs? 
  • Is the European Green Deal backed by a viable growth strategy, and to what extent can it contribute to Europe’s competitiveness?  
  • Will the revision of state-aid rules help the EU to be more competitive? How are state-aid rules changed to support climate policies? 
  • Are current competition tools enough to ensure a level playing field between the EU and third countries? 
  • What would happen if China, or the U.S. did not follow the same green path in terms of competition?
