@antoniofatas.bsky.social argues that the EU fiscal framework's principles are largely sound and the 2024 reform's shift from rigid numerical targets toward country-specific debt-sustainability analysis was the right move.

In his contribution to CEPR's Europe 2050 series, Gérard Roland argues that the European Union urgently needs a formal system of emergency powers, and sets out seven principles for what such a system should look like. cepr.org/publications... #Europe2050 #EconSky

As Europe faces an era of rapidly multiplying crises, from Russian military aggression to pandemics, refugee flows, and the unpredictability of the Trump administration, the EU's capacity to respond swiftly has become a matter of existential importance. In the latest paper in CEPR's Europe 2050 series, Gérard Roland (UC Berkeley and CEPR) argues that the Union urgently needs a formal system of emergency powers, and sets out seven principles for what such a system should look like. Drawing on historical precedents from the Roman Republic to Renaissance Venice and Florence, and grounded in recent game-theoretic research on the relationship between separation of powers and crisis management, he proposes a standing "shadow emergency committee" of senior politicians, a supermajority voting procedure requiring both the European Parliament and the European Council to grant and renew emergency powers, and robust safeguards, including ex post legal accountability and a bar on future office, to prevent their abuse. The greatest danger, he concludes, lies not in creating such a system but in failing to do so: an EU caught unprepared by an acute crisis may be forced to improvise, and improvised emergency powers without proper separation of powers are the classic route to autocratic drift.

CEPR and @kiel.institute host the online launch of a new Kiel Report - Shorting America: Europe’s Financial Leverage over the United States 📅23 June 2026 at 15:00 CEST 🗣️Christoph Trebesch, @farzado.bsky.social, Kristy Jansen, @veron.bsky.social Register: cepr.org/events/short... #EconSky

23 June 2026 Online

What if Europe flexed its financial muscle? A new report breaks with the prevailing view that the US is an invincible financial superpower, and shows that Europe has more financial leverage over the US than commonly thought – within existing regulatory architecture. If exercised, the consequences for long-run US dollar dominance and transatlantic power relations – and the gains for EU strategic autonomy – could be significant.

We invite you to the online launch of the forthcoming Kiel Report “Shorting America: Europe’s Financial Leverage over the United States” by Filippos Petroulakis (Bank of Greece) and Farzad Saidi (University of Bonn, Kiel Institute & CEPR):

Introduction: Christoph Trebesch (University of Kiel, Kiel Institute & CEPR)

Presentation of the paper: Farzad Saidi (University of Bonn, Kiel Institute & CEPR)

Discussion: Kristy Jansen (USC Marshall, Dutch Central Bank & CEPR) & Nicolas Veron (Bruegel & PIIE)

Followed by open Q&A and moderated discussion

CEPR Competition Policy RPN Webinar - Straight Talk: Draft New Merger Guidelines vs “Competitiveness” Mission 📆1 July at 5PM CEST 📍Online 🗣️ @tomvalletti.bsky.social @tomasoduso.bsky.social @florianederer.bsky.social @sandertordoir.bsky.social @cristinacaffarra.bsky.social Register: ow.ly/amBZ50ZbMWy

Review of the 20-year old EC Merger Guidelines (Draft issued by DG Comp end-of-April, out for consultation till end June) was long overdue, but an update was also very much triggered by the broader mission the Commission set itself post-“Draghi report” to pursue “competitiveness” with all its policy tools. “Scaling” European companies currently “too small to compete in global markets”, creating “European champions” capable of investing and innovating big have been a major motivation for an urgent review of merger policy at the political level across European capitals. The Draft has already been much discussed from the technical level (lots of events on “what do merger advisors need to know”) to the policy level (what do agency officials think?). But not to put too fine a point on it, there is an obvious tension between the political level’s aspirations for more consolidation and building champions, and the technical level which is offering updates to reflect current practice but no major reform.

Are the changes material? Are they meaningful or cosmetic? How do they measure up to the broader “mission”? Can merger control contribute to it? Should it? Should merger control be much more conversant with the broader economic policy toolbox? How?

The Competition Policy RPN usually hosts external speakers to discuss topical issues. This time we’ll give the floor to our own Steering Committee, all well-known economists with a long background in competition and economic policy (and no commercial advisory role):
Tommaso Valletti, former DG Comp Chief Economist and Professor at Imperial College London and CEPR
Tomaso Duso, Chair of the Monopolkommission and Professor, DIW Berlin and CEPR
Florian Ederer, Professor Boston University Questrom and CEPR
Sander Tordoir, Chief Economist at the Centre for European Reform
