Moving towards the euro Before I end, let me say some words on the adoption of the euro in the new Member States. The new Member States are expected to adopt the single currency at some point in the future. In fact, while not yet adopting the euro, they will be committed to striving towards the eventual adoption of the euro.
This will require us to redirect spending by both public and private sectors towards the green and digital sectors of the future. Specifically, we need to see investment of around € billion every year by 2030 to achieve Europe’s climate and energy targets, and around € billion every year to carry out the digital transformation.
