German Chancellor Merkel said today: "We hope the EU develops faster and better. That is why we have convened this special European Council meeting today. We are committed to building competitive industries in Europe and ultimately establishing a single European market."
Comment: Merkel's remarks essentially represent the concentrated outbreak of the EU's collective anxiety. Faced with intensified global industrial competition, internal growth stagnation, and increasing external pressure, Europe has clearly felt the risk of being left behind, and is urgently seeking to reverse the decline by accelerating reforms, opening up the single market, and revitalizing industrial competitiveness to strive to become a pole in a multipolar world.
