Five Years with Juncker

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The Juncker Commission set very ambitious goals upon its election in 2014. This chapter will try to assess to what extent it was successful in achieving them, with a particular focus on its investment policy and budget matters. The assessment will also take into account that the Commission was faced with unexpected crises, namely Brexit and the so-called refugee and migration crisis, which put extra pressure on it. Moreover, the assessment will consider that the Commission was confronted with a lack of consensus at European level on many key policy areas, which made the achievement of an agreement even more diffi cult.
