'Competitiveness': inside the troubling corporate blueprint for the coming Commission
'Competitiveness': inside the troubling corporate blueprint for the coming Commission

‘Competitiveness’ appears to be the uncontested yardstick for the EU, based on the Commission’s plans for the next five years. This is a big win for corporate lobby groups and their concerted campaign...
