Overview

  • Emanuele Orsini called for an extraordinary industrial plan committing at least €8 billion annually over three years to target 2 % GDP growth.
  • He warned that the EU’s current Stability and Growth Pact hinders industrial investment and risks becoming a pact for Europe’s decline without adaptation.
  • The proposal demands urgent measures to decouple gas prices from renewable-energy costs and to fast-track small modular nuclear reactors.
  • Orsini urged the creation of a new social pact uniting government, unions and businesses to enhance workplace safety, link wages to productivity and combat illegal labor practices.
  • Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni endorsed the blueprint with promises of bureaucratic simplification while European Parliament President Roberta Metsola pledged parliamentary support for industry and a unified investment market.
