Enrico Letta (Jacques Delors Institute), former Italian Prime Minister and author of the 2024 report “Much More Than a Market” on the future of the EU’s Single Market, reflects on how delivering the 5th Freedom is a crucial factor in achieving the European Council and Commission’s goal to complete the Single Market by 2028. Reinvigorating Jacques Delors’ idea, Letta explains how enabling the free movement of knowledge, research, innovation, and skills is a prerequisite to modernising Europe’s economy and boosting its competitiveness.
