“The debate today is not just about legal tests or market definitions. Competition policy must be connected to the wider challenges facing Europe: innovation, resilience, energy security, and technological sovereignty. It is an essential tool to help our continent remain prosperous, respectful, reliable, democratic, and free. The principles of openness, fairness, opportunity, and the rule of law remain fully valid, but our instruments must evolve to respond to today’s realities. Together, we can deliver a more innovative, resilient, and reliable Europe. We need to work together to modernise our policy, challenge old assumptions, and successfully connect the dots.” This was stated during the Conference on Ukraine’s Reconstruction in Gdańsk by the mayor of Kyiv, Vitaly Klitschko. During the conference he answered some question from the press regarding the situation in Ukraine.
