• The pandemic will likely magnify existing geopolitical dynamics and test the strength of Europe’s democratic systems.
• Europe needs a new kind of globalisation capable of striking a balance between the advantages of open markets and interdependence, and between the sovereignty and security of countries.
• Europe should work to prevent the US-China rivalry from having negative repercussions in certain regions of the world – particularly Africa.
• European leaders need to focus on meeting the immediate needs of healthcare systems, providing an income for people who cannot work, and giving businesses guarantees.
