Radio Schuman also takes you to London to discuss the bilateral meeting between Commissioner President Ursula von der Leyen and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and looks at how climate change is affecting people's holiday plans.

Can the EU ever become a superpower?
07:00|At a medieval castle in the Belgian countryside last week, European leaders gathered to discuss competitiveness, deregulation, industrial policy and the future of the Single Market. In this episode, we unpack what this retreat was all about: Who’s pushing for cutting red tape? Who wants deeper integration? Is deregulation the key to the EU’s economic growth? Is “pragmatic federalism” the secret ingredient for a powerful Europe? To answer these questions, we sit down with MLex managing editor for Europe, Kait Bolongaro, president of Eurochambres, Vladimír Dlouhý and President of the Foundation for European Progressive Studies and former EU Commissioner, Nicolas Schmit.
