A New EU: Unfinished business and priorities for economic reform in Europe
Thu. September 26, 2019 08:00 am - 10:30 am !French Institute Alliance Française |
The EU will soon have new leadership that among other challenges will have to tackle the economic consequences of trade tensions and heightened global uncertainty while continuing to deepen the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU).
We will be making an assessment of the achievements of the Juncker Commission, but also look forward to the still unfinished business. Specifically, the Euro Area needs to be strengthened, by completing the Banking Union and creating an efficient Capital Market Union. Safe assets and central fiscal capacity are also important tools to make the EMU more resilient and ensure it works for all Member States.
Join us for a breakfast with Pierre Moscovici who will provide invaluable insights about the achievements of the outgoing EU Commission and reflect on key priorities under the next mandate in terms of EMU deepening, fiscal policy, structural reforms & corporate taxation

On taxation matters, Commissioner Moscovici is responsible for developing a value added tax system at EU level, improving the functioning of the internal market in both direct and indirect taxation and fighting tax fraud and tax evasion. His responsibilities also include the development and management of an efficient EU customs union.
