stresses the urgent need to take a comprehensive, preventive approach based on fundamental human rights to the commercial determinants of health, which are defined as strategies of private actors that negatively influence health and democratic checks and balances;
calls on the EU and its Member States to adopt ambitious policies and strategic funding – including under the next Multiannual Financial Framework for 2028-2034 – to make health a central pillar of European resilience, particularly with a view to prevention;
encourages the establishment of a balanced regulatory framework that allows businesses to transition towards models that respect public health, by including the precautionary principle, transparency and due diligence clauses in public policies.
Supporting the revival of securitisation to channel financing to households, SMEs and the EU’s strategic objectives, with stronger ESG disclosure requirements and transparent monitoring of whether ‘freed-up’ capital boosts lending.
Preserving safeguards and international standards to protect financial stability, avoiding excessive risk-taking, and discouraging relocation of securitisation processes to unregulated jurisdictions or aggressive tax regimes.
Strengthening supervision and fine-tuning technical aspects (calibration, definitions, retention rules), while introducing measures to preserve lender–borrower relationships and transparency throughout the securitisation process.
Expanding the post-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) to 2% of EU GDP and mobilising all available instruments (RRF, InvestEU, EIB, ESM) to close the EU’s investment deficit in green, digital, social and strategic sectors.
Developing a moderately expansionary monetary policy once inflation is under control and strengthening the role of euro as a global reserve currency by introducing the digital euro, using the stock of EU debt and completing the capital markets and banking union.
Ensuring permanent and structured involvement of social partners and civil society organisations in the European Semester, while protecting sustainable finance rules, social spending and cohesion against excessive fiscal consolidation or defence-driven imbalances.
Boosting investment in strategically important industries, innovation and integrated capital markets, while ensuring fair mobility, social and environmental standards, as well as a competitive services sector.
Creating fiscal space through the newly revised EU fiscal rules and an EU investment capacity to finance growth-enhancing projects, while building buffers in times of recovery.
Strengthening the EU’s global economic position by pursuing bilateral trade agreements, reforming the WTO, and adopting a coordinated strategy to close gaps in productivity, research, investment and competitiveness.
advocates implementing the EU customs reform as quickly as possible, in particular the part concerning e-commerce, and urges the EU Member States to immediately give the Commission a mandate to develop the customs data hub;
calls for the abolishment of the EUR 150 customs duty exemption and for the implementation of the ‘deemed importer’ model across the EU, shifting responsibility from consumers to platforms; and
insists that all third-country platforms appoint an EU-based responsible economic operator with full legal liability, as required by the Digital Services Act, and be recognised as central actors in the supply chain.
Expanding the scope of investments to include satellite intelligence, interoperability, dual-use projects and longer-term programming, with balanced distribution across Member States and regions.
Ensuring democratic and social safeguards by involving national monitoring committees, setting ceilings for fund transfers, attaching social conditionalities (skills, reskilling, worker transition), and requiring impact assessments for large projects.
Building a coordinated EU defence strategy through a common register for defence and dual-use investments, closer complementarity with other EU funds (e.g. ESF, SAFE), and creating a dedicated EU body to coordinate procurement, innovation and market consolidation.
calls for European public goods (EPGs) to be at the heart of the post-2027 EU budget, with stronger investment in areas essential to the Union’s functioning and resilience. These include the single market, economic and monetary union, cohesion, strategic autonomy (health, food, energy), defence, research and the rule of law, alongside green and digital transitions and social priorities.
warns that failing to act would mean a “cost of non-Europe”, with up to EUR 2.8 trillion in lost GDP gains by 2032. It calls for an ambitious, flexible Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) and stresses that financing EPGs requires new and adequate EU own resources.
finds that special attention must be given to ‘functional EPGs’ – those linked to Article 3 TEU – that can ensure the normal functioning of the EU: the completion of the single market; the completion of the economic and monetary union; economic, social and territorial cohesion; EU open strategic autonomy (e.g. the joint EU health policy, food security, the EU energy union); defence and security; EU research and development; and the rule of law.
Safeguarding the integrity of the sustainable finance framework, ensuring that revisions to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and Omnibus packages do not undermine transparency, delay investment or increase risks such as carbon lock-in.
Expanding the framework to cover the full environmental, social and governance (ESG) spectrum, with stronger social safeguards, a social taxonomy, recognition of transition finance with mandatory transition plans, and clear definitions aligned with international standards.
Mobilising savings and investments through the Savings and Investment Union and Banking Union, while preserving fiscal space for green and social investment, ensuring that sustainability remains central to EU competitiveness and global leadership.
calls on the Commission to develop an action plan to enforce the fundamental right to housing, emphasising that this right must be formally enshrined in EU primary law;
urges to reform state aid rules to allow broader access to social housing. The current definition of service of general economic interest (SGEI) excludes key groups and limits Member States’ ability to respond to rising demand;
stresses that the Commission has so far failed to put citizens at the heart of the Energy Union. It thus welcomes the Citizens’ Energy Package (CEP) as a way to engage people and communities, but underlines that the CEP must guarantee citizens’ full involvement in building a fair, sustainable, and secure energy system. It also calls for stronger action against energy poverty, with a clear definition and local, data-driven identification of affected households.
