The European Union has a new parliament since May, a new Commission since November chaired by Jean-Claude Juncker, and a new President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, since December 1st. The new EU authorities face serious challenges, especially that despite many years of efforts to integrate Europe, the continent remains divided. Today, the most important issues concern economic growth, competitiveness and innovation of companies as well as jobs for young people. Hints on what can be done to achieve these objectives are provided in the report "The Future of European Integration - A Reform Call", developed by an international team of experts and Günter Verheugen.
