Ursula von der Leyen underscored the link between competitiveness and social fairness, stressing the need for affordable energy and quality jobs.

The EU's commitment to the 'One Europe, One Market' agenda aims to translate economic progress into benefits for citizens, workers, and businesses, ensuring that a strong economy and fair society progress hand in hand.
