Building on his experience as former French Minister of Finance and European Commissioner, Pierre Moscovici, First President of the Cour des comptes – the French Supreme Audit Institution – will present his vision of what the European Union could become in the future.

Confronted with major political and economic transformations and multiple crises – economic, geopolitical, the Green transition – the European Union governance will need to answer new challenges that have emerged in the past years. European institutions and policies have already evolved to foster EU’s role as a global player; however, reforms on EU integration and enlargement are still being debated in light of the coming 2024 European elections.
