Draghi calls for EU common borrowing, end to national vetoes to compete with China, US
9 September 2024
Ex-Italian Premier Mario Draghi has called for common EU borrowing and an end to national vetoes in a landmark report on economic competitiveness presented to the EU executive on Monday.
The long-awaited report, originally due in June, proposes a “new industrial strategy for Europe”, saying that the era of open, rules-based trade is on its way out.
His findings, drafted with the aid of European Commission officials, come just days before its President Ursula von der Leyen is due to set out the duties of top lieutenants for her next five-year mandate.
“The EU should move towards regular issuance of common safe assets to enable joint investment projects among member states and to help integrate capital markets,” the report said – a step towards the controversial idea of eurobonds, in which member states issue collective debt.
The EU already moved in that direction with Next Generation EU, a several-hundred-billion-euro investment plan that came in the wake of COVID-19 – but the idea has raised fears of subsidising weaker member states, among “frugal” member states such as von der Leyen’s Germany.
In April, Draghi promised “radical change” amid growing concern over a massive productivity gap with the US, where incomes have grown twice as much as the EU’s since 2000, Draghi said.
He’s proposing more aggressive measures in response to the massive green tech subsidies offered in China and the US.
“A joint plan for decarbonisation and competitiveness could entail, in specific circumstances, defensive trade measures to level the playing field globally and offset state-sponsored competition abroad,” the report said.
“The era of open global trade governed by multilateral institutions looks to be passing,” he added, pledging to coordinate the screening of foreign direct investment, given fears that China is hoovering up expertise vital to European innovation and security. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/09/09/what-is-the-long-awaited-draghi-report-on-eu-competitiveness
Mario Draghi has influence and he also was the former President of the European Central Bank.
Anyway, the way the EU is currently organized, it has to accept that a single country can veto just about anything. That makes decisive governance difficult and often time consuming.
The EU would have to reorganize to change that.
Mario Draghi is calling for that type of change.
This past Spring, France’s President seemed to also call for a reorganization (see Hungary veto upsets EU, France’s Macron wants reorganization).
Last Summer, President of the European Commission, Ursula vonder Leyen also called for reorganizing Europe (see European leaders propose reorganization: A prelude to Revelation 17:12-13?).
Europe is prophesied to dominate the world economically (see the 17th and 18th chapters of the Book of Revelation).
Bible prophecy shows that Europe will reorganize:
12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)
(More on the reorganization is discussed in the article: Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?)
Europe will one day support a dictatorial strongman. The Bible calls him the Beast of the Sea (Revelation 13:1-10) and the King of the North (Daniel 11:40).
Some time after various crises and troubles occur during the “beginning of sorrows” (Mark 13:5-8), a particular leader will arise. Notice some of what Daniel was inspired to write:
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. (Daniel 8:25, KJV).
23 And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. 24 He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time. (Daniel 11:23-24, NKJV)
So this leader gives people the impression that there will be “peace,” and end up with wealth.
In troubled times, strong leaders promising peace and prosperity tend to gain support.
After the two prophesied reorganizations in Europe (Revelation 17:12-13), he will gain power.
Related to change and prophecy in Europe, we put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
Europe to Expand and Reorganize?
In September 2023, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen gave her annual State of the European Union speech. It was a motivational speech to push Europeans to support bold moves for expansion, trade, and international influence. She also mentioned Europe’s Global Gateway project as well as her involvement in getting the G20 to go for the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC). Several days after her speech, a report titled Sailing on High Seas: Reforming and Enlarging the EU for the 21st Century put out by Europeans from Germany and France, called for an overhaul of the European Union so that it could manage expanding to over 30 nations. Will Europe reorganize? What does the Bible teach in Revelation 17:12-13? Will this involve more than 10 or 11 currently existing nations? Will this end up being a dictatorship? Could any of this have to do with the coming ‘King of the North’ of Daniel 11? Could a Bavarian ‘strongman’ possibly be involved in the future? Could the year 2030 be relevant? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie discuss these matters and more.

As more and more leaders call for reorganization in Europe, remember that the Bible prophesies that it will happen.
This is something to “Watch!” as Jesus said (Mark 13:37).

Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations? Some claim that these passages refer to a gathering of 10 currently existing nations together, while one group teaches that this is referring to 11 nations getting together. Is that what Revelation 17:12-13 refers to? The ramifications of misunderstanding this are enormous. A related sermon is titled Ten Kings of Revelation and the Great Tribulation.
Who is the King of the West? Why is there no Final End-Time King of the West in Bible Prophecy? Is the United States the King of the West? Here is a version in the Spanish language: ¿Quién es el Rey del Occidente? ¿Por qué no hay un Rey del Occidente en la profecía del tiempo del fin? A related sermon is also available: The Bible, the USA, and the King of the West.
Who is the King of the North? Is there one? Do biblical and Roman Catholic prophecies for the Great Monarch point to the same leader? Should he be followed? Who will be the King of the North discussed in Daniel 11? Is a nuclear attack prophesied to happen to the English-speaking peoples of the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand? When do the 1335 days, 1290 days, and 1260 days (the time, times, and half a time) of Daniel 12 begin? When does the Bible show that economic collapse will affect the United States?
