The Committee held an exchange of views with the Commission's Vice-President Šefčovič, responsible for Inter-institutional Relations and Foresight, in order to look at the "2020 Strategic Foresight Report - Charting the course towards a more resilient Europe" published by the European Commission last September. The central theme of this first report is resilience, which has become a new compass for EU policies with the COVID-19 crisis.

The Report underlines that resilience is the ability not only to withstand and cope with challenges but also to undergo transitions in a sustainable, fair, and democratic manner.
