What Brussels fails to understand: EU losing export momentum due to self-inflicted issues, says Polish paper

The European Union is faltering in its global export competitiveness, a decline that Rzeczpospolita argues stems from a lack of understanding within Brussels. For two years, the necessary changes to regain momentum have been known, yet the EU appears to be losing its edge. This self-inflicted stagnation highlights a disconnect between the perceived needs of the market and the policy decisions being made at the EU level.

The publication criticizes the EU's current trajectory, suggesting that internal inertia and a failure to grasp the dynamics of international trade are actively harming its position. The implication is that without a fundamental shift in perspective and a more agile approach to policy, the EU risks falling further behind in key export sectors. The article calls for a re-evaluation of how Brussels perceives and addresses the challenges of global competition.
