  • Excellent EU policy podcast

    This has become about my favourite European Policy podcast. They really give their guests the space to lay out their ideas, and ask very good questions which feel genuinely without agenda.

Q: Could you let me have your thoughts just on the policy development since the publication of the Draghi report and where you think Europe is and whether the policy is heading in the right direction?
The ambition is the right one, but the challenge is to make sure that action matches the ambition, as only around 11 percent of recommendations have actually been enacted.
