Europe Unlocked Commissioned Reports

Over the course of one and a half years, Europe Unlocked commissioned several reports with the purpose of feeding into, and shaping, the debate ahead of a new European Commission taking office in the fall of 2024. The reports, which all took boosting European competitiveness through open and competitive markets as their starting point, contained several actionable recommendations for policymakers – and were written by different well-reputable European think-tanks. These can be found below.

1. Empowering the Single Market – Jacques Pelkmans (CEPS)

2. Helping Europe’s Digital Economy Take Off: An Agenda for the Next Commission – Zach Meyers (CER)

3. Better Regulation in Europe: An Action Plan for the Next Commission – Zach Meyers (CER)

4. Trading Up: An EU Trade Policy for Better Market Access and Resilient Sourcing – Fredrik Erixon, Oscar Guinea, Philipp Lamprecht, Oscar du Roy, Elena Sisto, Renata Zilli (ECIPE)

5. Green and Enviable: How to Deliver Net-Zero and A More Competitive EU – Irina Kustova, Vasileios Rizos, Edoardo Righetti, Milan Elkerbout, Christian Egenhofer (CEPS)

Building upon this, Europe Unlocked launched a Call-to-Action at the end of the campaign. This paper can be found here:
