EuroparlTV Video - Draghi report: European Parliament debates plan to boost EU economy

Members of the European Parliament debated a major report that calls for swift action to make the EU economy more competitive.
Its author, former European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, says the EU is lagging behind the US and China amid sluggish growth, high energy prices and threats to its security.
He told MEPs in Strasbourg an extra 800 billion of annual investment is needed to boost innovation, protect living standards and preserve the European way of life.
Many MEPs welcomed his call for action, some demanding more support for key industries and the green and digital transformations. Others argued for freer markets and warned measures to fight climate change can harm economic growth.
