The European Commissioner for Economy and Productivity, Implementation and Simplification, Valdis Dombrovskis, assured this Friday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that the EU is committed to the technological and green transition, while trying to simplify regulation to boost competitiveness.

Dombrovskis pointed out at a breakfast briefing organised by New Economy Forum in the EU capital that one of the great challenges of the European Commission is to reduce the regulatory burden without giving up objectives such as the green and technological transition and, of course, without giving up the rights of its citizens and workers. Preserving our prosperity and our security leaves us no other option, he said in his speech.

The Executive Vice-president of the European Commission for a Clean, Just and Competitive Transition, Teresa Ribera, maintained this Monday a cautious tone at the Forum Europa in Brussels regarding the return of Donald Trump to the White House, which will materialize in a few hours, and stated that "it does not seem very opportune to think that the best response that can be given to a provocation is to escalate provocations".

This is what Ribera said in response to questions from the media within the framework of an informative meeting organised by New Economy Forum in the capital of the EU, where she argued that neither is the "best response to questioning the international order to undo that international order".

The Executive Vice-president of the European Commission for a Clean, Just and Competitive Transition, Teresa Ribera, defended this Monday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that the “many” challenges that exist in matters such as autonomy in energy and raw materials must be addressed, as well as the “devastating consequences” of climate change. “Ignoring these realities is not the way to face the problems. In fact, they will not disappear like this”, she warned.

Ribera expressed herself in these terms during an informative meeting organised by New Economy Forum in the EU capital, where she warned that ignoring the problems will not only mean that they will not be fixed, but that they will “affect” the economy and citizens more.

The Executive Vice-President of the European Commission for a Clean, Just and Competitive Transition, Teresa Ribera, stressed this Monday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that it is necessary to continue advancing in the inclusion of people with disabilities and proclaimed that “the economy should serve the people and not the other way around”.

Ribera expressed herself in these terms during an informative meeting organised by New Economy Forum in the EU capital, where she was asked if people with disabilities will have her help to advance in inclusion and to improve accessibility.

New Economy Forum established its Forum Europa in Brussels earlier this year, under the motto 'Ideas to Strengthen the Union', in an inaugural conversation with the President of the European Parliament. Since then, Forum Europa has continued to consolidate itself as a meeting point for the political, economic and social spheres of the EU, a platform to analise the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the Union.
