The Commission President also outlined plans to relaunch europes economy which has been hard hit by the Global Pandemic so for me it is Crystal Clear we need to build a stronger European Health union it is time to do that.

U. For more on that lets go straight to Brussels Bureau chief alexander phenomenon hello Alexandra Ursula finalize their speech her speech dominated by the pandemic of course how does she want to future proof against the pandemic. Well what was very interesting is how the phone managed to send a very opposed to a message during her state of the Union Address here and brussels how she was trying to convince the members of part of the parliament that you were peony union have a chair has a chance to emerge out of this crisis much stronger and more resilient and hold the European Union can use this crisis to become a leader with regards to the Climate Change with regards to digital translation trance its invasion and how now is the right time to change the way we live its to change the way we do business. To stick to to the goals of a sustainable agenda and resiliency being one of the themes that she wove through her entire speech from the pandemic to the economy and also on the green deal for europe what did she have in mind there. She announced the commission is proposing to increase the target of emissions reduction up to 55 percent by 2030 and she was saying in her speech that she knows that there are many who criticize her commission for not going far enough but there are also many who would say thats too much we cannot handle that but if she was trying to convince everyone listening to her speech that thats the way the path forward that thats important for the European Union the deaths doable and that there of koori found that the you members agreed upon is the chance to spend this money on projects that are green and that could change as i said the way we will live. One example that the money for example could be spent on projects like train project and not trying to save old. Airlines or Something Like that also looking to the future another very ambitious aspect here was the common digital play through to 2050 thats not just a legislative period thats always into the future what are some of the main points of that common plan for the Digital World going forward. Well i think that what was very striking how was how when the war or the last funded lion was trying to point to the Current Crisis saying look at us if that would have happened like a 100 years ago we wouldnt have a chance to communicate with each other and thats of course its the reason why our why it is important to move forward with regards to the east and was also very interesting that she has proposed a number of new initiatives one of them is for example a secure a Digital Identity for all citizens of europe that could be used whether we are talking about riding a bike or a paying taxes live from brussels after the European Commission president s 1st address to the e.
