Risk for Draghi report to 'remain dead letter' - Gentiloni

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 12 - European Economy Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni on Thursday warned that a report on European competitiveness presented by former Italian premier and European central banker Mario Draghi on Monday could remain "dead letter".
    "I hope the Draghi report, which arrives as a cycle ends and a new one starts, will be the compass of the next European Commission", Gentiloni told SkyTg24.
    The report was commissioned last year by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who has been elected for a second mandate.
    The 400-page blueprint said, among other things, that the EU needs massive investment, new coordinated industrial policies and a faster decision-making process if it wants to keep pace with economic rivals the United States and China. (ANSA).
