🌊 Geography can affect the way a hashtag competes.

Today the European Commission (EU Maritime & Fish and Europe in my region) announced the 🇪🇺 Strategy for Islands and Coastal Communities to boost economic competitiveness and strengthen the climate change resilience of these areas.

As businesses on EU islands face higher transport and energy costs, skills shortages, and strong seasonality, we have been calling for a European “Islands Pact” that takes into account the realities of small islands across all policies: cohesion, transport, energy, environment, maritime affairs, and State aid.

📍 This Strategy comes at the right moment. Now its success depends on mobilising investment, boosting the sustainable blue economy and ensuring coherent, business‑friendly implementation across EU and national policies.

🤝 A renewed Pact for the Mediterranean must put business & civil society at the centre.

Focus should be on the role of micro, small and medium‑sized enterprises (MSMEs). They are the backbone of both the EU and the Mediterranean partner countries' economies, yet their contribution to value added remains limited.

📍 To unlock private sector potential, MSME‑focused reforms are needed, including improved access to finance, simplified procedures, a conducive regulatory framework and support for digitalisation and connectivity. These measures would enable firms to join regional value chains and boost investor confidence.

EU market surveillance: how can we close the gap between rules & reality ❓

While the 🇪🇺 has a strong legal framework for market surveillance, enforcement is struggling to keep pace with today’s market realities.

Digitalisation, global supply chains and the rise of e-commerce make it harder to detect and stop non-compliant products, especially from non-EU sellers operating online.

At the same time, limited resources and uneven enforcement across Member States create an unlevel playing field for businesses that comply with EU rules. We call for:

✅ stronger and more consistent enforcement
✅ better coordination between authorities, including customs
✅ simpler, more coherent rules
✅ increased investment in enforcement capacity.

Without such reforms, the EU risks falling behind a rapidly changing market landscape.

The European Commission’s marks an important step towards strengthening Europe’s capacity in strategic digital technologies, from semiconductors and AI to cloud and open source.

Reducing critical dependencies and boosting Europe’s innovation base is essential for competitiveness, resilience and long-term growth. But ambition alone is not enough.

To succeed, Europe must ensure:

📍 A business-friendly regulatory environment that enables companies to innovate and scale.
📍 Faster permitting and simpler rules, especially for strategic investments and infrastructure.
📍 Strong mobilisation of private investment alongside public support.

European companies will play a central role in turning this agenda into real economic impact by investing, innovating and creating quality jobs.

The priority now is clear: deliver in practice what is announced in policy.

🌿 is a strategic choice for competitiveness, resilience and job creation.

It helps decarbonise industry, reduces reliance on imported fossil resources, and supports long term competitiveness. But for businesses, predictability matters. That means traceable supply chains, smart investment incentives and policies that reward circular design and long-term value creation 🎯

🗯️Europe has around 8% of global scale-ups while 60% are in North America. The main problem is not but commercialisation. The 🇪🇺 should create markets & demand, & make the a true one.

🌿 EU rules are strong but they’ve become too complicated. Too many forms, overlaps and time lost. This is why we welcome the EU’s Food & Feed Safety Omnibus Package that aims to cut unnecessary red tape while maintaining 🇪🇺’s high safety standards.

The package also supports modern tools, like drones, which can reduce pesticide use.

📍The EU-Mexico agreement marks an important step in strengthening Europe’s global economic partnerships and in accelerating trade diversification.

At a time of rising geopolitical uncertainty and increasing protectionism, deepening cooperation with like minded partners such as Mexico is essential. The modernised agreement will expand market access, remove remaining tariffs and tackle non tariff barriers, creating new opportunities for businesses and investment on both sides.

For Europe, this is also about resilience. Diversifying supply chains and securing access to critical raw materials are key to supporting the green and digital transitions and reducing strategic dependencies.

Importantly, the agreement goes beyond trade. It reinforces commitments to sustainability, labour rights and a rules based global trading system, all essential to ensure that openness and competitiveness go hand in hand.

For European businesses, including , this agreement can open a dynamic market offering new prospects for growth, innovation and job creation.

Now the focus must be on effective implementation, so that companies can fully benefit from the opportunities this partnership brings 🌍
