Today the EU Commission presented its 2026 #EuropeanSemester Spring Package.

For us it is clear: As Europe invests in defence & energy security, it must also invest in workers, quality jobs, fair wages & good working conditions.
This is what makes EU competitive & strong!

Europa steht an einem entscheidenden Punkt: schwaches Wachstum und demografischer Druck senken das Potenzial. Das #EuropeanSemester muss stärker auf #Wettbewerbsfähigkeit ausgerichtet werden. Europas Investitionslücke liegt bei rund 800 Mrd. € pro Jahr.
