💡 Let's start our morning with some quick insights from the kick-off event of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union which will take place in the first half of 2024. A detailed analysis will have to wait a few hours, since there is a lot to digest. 🇧🇪
✅ "Deliver"
"Deliver" was a word that Prime Minister Alexander De Croo used at least ten times in his speech this morning. It's clear that De Croo understands the current political & policy sentiment that the political level is often unable to deliver tangible results for citizens. Opinion polls clearly show that security, immigration and, above all, purchasing power are top of the list.
De Croo looked serious, calm, without any theatre or rhetorical games. Delivering was his key message today, are we seeing the return of boring politics with results?
1️⃣ "Protecting our people" is one of the three priorities that Belgium will focus on during this presidency, which is broadly defined and ranges from the war in Ukraine to the social and economic protection of all Europeans. ⚔
2️⃣ "Strengthening our economy" is another priority: As a small country, Belgium understands that the EU needs to focus on our economy and a deeper economic integration of our European markets in order to remain relevant in a time of shifting economic and geopolitical blocs. 💶
3️⃣ "Getting ready" "Gouverner, c'est prevoir" is a well-known adage in politics and it's one that Belgium will take into account. De Croo specifically referred to institutional reforms of the EU to prepare for the future: the world and its institutions are changing rapidly, the EU must follow suit. Coming from a country with a plethora of complicated governments, Belgium seems well prepared to take this issue forward. 🏛
👉 Now it's time to dive into the texts, analyse & reflect. And more specifically for us: how will this presidency impact the clients we work for? Can we identify any opportunities for them to contribute and/or gain an edge?
