EU competitiveness compass – pillars and controversy

Hitleróka Ursula von der Leyen presented the EU Competitiveness Compass, which is based on 3 pillars:

1. Decarbonisation and simultaneously expanding competitiveness.
2. Reducing the innovation gap between the EU and the US and China.
3. Increase safety and reduce the Union's external dependence.

Some experts point to interior contradictions in the first pillar where the pursuit of decarbonisation may undermine competitiveness. Despite the regulatory simplifications provided for in the Compasse, implementation of its assumptions is in line with the Green Deal ideas. In practice, this means measures to increase the innovation of companies and to accelerate the transition from the coal economy, which is controversial in Poland.

Magdalena Biejat, however, is enthusiastic about the Compasse, stressing that Poland should actively participate in shaping it and strive to play a leading function in EU economical policy.
