00:00We have member states that act in an isolated way, through fragmented, unhygienic industrial policies,
00:11the result of which is the mortification of the performance of a single European digital market,
00:16at the full advantage of the extra-European technological giants.
00:21We Europeans are good, we are the best at legislating, less at investing resources and implementing projects.
00:29In just under a decade we have legislated on privacy, markets, digital services, data, security and artificial intelligence.
00:39Let's be clear, we have defended the rule of law and defined the spaces of individual freedom,
00:46and we have been the only ones in the world in this direction.
00:51Our rules have played a fundamental role in the development of technology,
00:55especially when it comes to implementing and respecting the values shared by the great democracies of the world.
01:03But this normative hypertopia creates some problems.
01:08The deadalus of rules has slowed innovation, creating barriers to entry and exit of companies.
01:15Bureaucracy has discouraged the best, who in fact have left Europe.
01:19A law sometimes takes years to be fully applied.
01:23The gap between the times of the market and technological evolution is too wide.
01:28Europe invests little and badly, and suffers a dramatic deficit of digital skills.
01:35We do not sufficiently educate the younger generations,
01:39and we do not adequately update the skills of those in the labor market.
01:44Europe needs a serious radical educational plan.
