By Maria Demertzis, André Sapir, Jeromin Zettelmeyer After every European election, Bruegel produces a series of memos to the new European Commissioners that will take office in Brussels. The first of those memos, published last week, is addressed to the presidents of the European Commission, the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament. Our message is that the European Union will need to become more united when dealing with the multiple threats it faces now and in the future.

The European Union’s greenhouse-gas emissions have been on a downward trend for about 15 years now, though the decline is happening too slowly. In contrast, emissions in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) continue to rise. Unless these countries significantly accelerate decarbonisation, global temperature rises will be impossible to contain within 1.5 to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. A critical step is replacement of coal with renewable energy as fast as possible.

Five years ago, the biggest economic problems in Europe were revitalising growth and decarbonising while maintaining social cohesion. They still are. In the meantime, pandemic-related supply disruptions, the energy crisis provoked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and economic coercion by China have put another problem high on the agenda: economic security. How can Europe safeguard its economic security while maintaining the benefits of international trade and cooperation, including with China?

The job of a central bank in a currency union can be particularly tough. Economic problems in a single member, that would not arise or could be managed easily in a federal state, can threaten the entire currency union. As the European Central Bank discovered during the 2010-12 euro crisis, this can threaten both its primary mandate – price stability – and secondary objectives, such as financial stability.

On 20 December, the European Union’s Economic and Financial (Ecofin) Council reached a compromise on the reform of the EU fiscal rules. It represents a reasonable outcome. In some respects, it improves on the European Commission’s legislative proposal in April 2023. In other respects, it is worse. Compared to the current rules, however, it is a big step forward. The country-specific nature of fiscal adjustment requirements, determined by debt sustainability analysis (DSA), is mostly preserved.

Even 20 years ago, the European Union’s budget was being described as a “historical relic” (Sapir et al, 2004). It remains outdated and is not fit to face the EU’s current policy challenges: the green and digital transition, wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and migration, among others. In addition, much more is now expected from the EU than previously. Member countries ask the EU to help find solutions to old and new problems.
