The EU Council appoints Enrico Letta to draw up a strategic report on the single market

The Council of the European Union has commissioned Enrico Letta to draw up a strategic report on the single market. The Belgian government, which will assume the presidency of the EU Council in the first half of 2024, has asked a Enrico Letta, as president of the Jacques Delors Institute, to draw up a report on the future of the single market autonomously and independently. "I am looking for the magic formula to relaunch the European single market", added the former premier, in a statement released to the Belgian newspaper "Le Soir" on the sidelines of an event in the Schuman district of Brussels held together with Pierre-Yves Dermagne, deputy prime minister of the economy.

The former Italian Prime Minister said that "the report will arrive shortly before next year's elections, and there, beware of the disunity between the different countries". “Unity among us is what is important, what must take precedence, much more than marking our differences,” added Letta.
