Path to digital transformation: start of the EU's "Digital Decade"
On September 15, 2021, President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced the start of "ten-year" digital transformation of economic and social spheres. The action plan was presented in the "State of the Union" address. This development was preceded by the official announcement on March 9 of the "European Digital Compass". These strategic documents deepen the understanding of parameters of long-term digital transformation and new governance structures, and reveal the persistence of EU officials’ high hopes for digitalization. Authorized agencies in Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union should use this development for evaluation and comparison of their target settings for adjusting the course of their own progress.
