EU Commissioner for Economy Paolo Gentiloni: Discussion about economic prospects and EU enlargement

In November 2023, EU Commissioner for the Economy Paolo Gentiloni was in Vienna and spoke about the growth prospects for Europe at 20. Jubilee Vienna Economic Forum in Rathaus. “Given the economic challenges, it may seem tempting to raise the drawbridges. But that would be a very big mistake.” Cooperation and economic exchange are needed right now. “There will be no deglobalization, but more regionalization of supply chains and nearshoring. That is why a committed enlargement policy is so strategically important,” emphasized the EU Commissioner.
