We have plotted a clear course in the European Union for strengthening Europe's digital sovereignty and laying down our own standards instead of copying others. The plan is to invest in ultra-high-speed internet links and develop super processing of big data to create innovative solutions for medicine, transport and the environment, Siim Kallas says in a speech delivered in the Riigikogu. We are living challenging times. The EU has come face to face with several crises in the past decade. We had the financial crisis of 2008, the refugee crisis in 2015 and have been in an unprecedented healthcare and economic crisis brought on by the coronavirus since last spring. Every hurdle has required us to complement policies and render cooperation more effective.
