European Economic
and Social Committee
How will given industrial ecosystems contribute to the strategic autonomy of the EU and the wellbeing of Europeans?
The EESC:
- supports the EU's ambition to assume greater responsibility for its own security, reduce one-sided dependencies in critical areas and strengthen its capacity to set and implement its own priorities, moving to a state of economic competitiveness and enhanced resilience.
- recommends that the EU increases its R&D&I spending and other related funding instruments, putting it at least on a par with other regions in the world.
- believes it is important to achieve real upward convergence of EU economies, particularly in terms of productivity, social standards, occupational health and safety and environmentally-friendly production.
