"We must continue to safeguard the Four Freedoms – the movement of people, services, goods, and capital – but we also need to advance the Fifth Freedom: the free movement of knowledge, innovation, skills, and education. This should be complemented by the creation of a Savings and Investment Union to channel funds towards building strong and green European champions in strategic sectors, able to truly compete at a global scale", Letta added.
