Ursula von der Leyen and Antonio Costa, today.

The 27 have agreed to simplify European Union regulations to revive the economy of the bloc as a whole and to work on the 'Made in Europe' strategy to prioritise European production in different sectors over products from foreign countries. 

EU Heads of State and Government meet in the Netherlands at Alsen Biesen Castle. On the table, one of the main issues is the competitiveness of the economy and the ways to do so. They talk, among other things, about reducing energy costs, private capital or market diversification. 

At the press conference following the meeting, the President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, reported that the commissioners meeting had agreed 'unanimously' to move towards' simplifying the rules and the agenda 'in order to speed up the economy.

In the same vein, the President of the European Council, Ursula von der Leyen, has said that they will work out ways to facilitate processes, but she has also called on each country to commit itself to speeding up local legal procedures. 'The aim is to reduce bureaucracy and excessive regulation', they have said. 

They have also stressed the need to "protect strategic industries and reduce addictions" in various sectors, such as defense, clean and quantum technologies or the payment system.
