Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, September 30, 2020

Because Europe will definitely have its own way of becoming a leader of the digital age.

Key Points: 
  • Because Europe will definitely have its own way of becoming a leader of the digital age.
  • During this global disruption, which has affected absolutely all sectors of life and the economy, we have seen the best and the worst.
  • We also saw how much the digital gap in our societies increases the inequalities.
  • And we realised how disinformation can be dangerous and hurtful in times of crisis, when information can be lifesaving, literally.
  • I personally think theres an even more fundamental lesson to be learned from the crisis.
  • In our countries that havent experienced war for many decades, we simply rediscovered what is most precious in our societies: human life and health.
  • This is why Im convinced that well-being must be the focal point of our concern.
  • Then in July, the European Council adopted a ground-breaking budget along with a recovery fund, amounting to 1.8 trillion euros.
  • And this week the European Council will most likely decide that 20% of the financial means must be dedicated to Europe's digital transition.
  • In the digital domain, like in all aspects of our economy, we want innovation to be at the service of people.
  • This, Ladies and Gentlemen, may well be our distinctive way, "Europe's way", into the digital revolution.
  • Setting our own technological standards has served us well in the past - remember the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM).
  • Finally, as a more famous "digital speaker", Steve Jobs, used to say: "One more thing" I must also say a word about fairness in the digital market.
  • The European Union is committed, alongside the OECD and the G20, to international cooperation to correct this injustice.
