On September 13, President von der Leyen sent a Letter of Intent to Roberta Metsola, the President of the European Parliament, and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of Spain, which currently holds the Presidency of the Council. In it, she details the actions the Commission intends to take in the following year by means of legislation and other initiatives. 

The Commission presents only a limited number of new initiatives, which reflect the existing commitments or respond to emerging challenges. “Advanced materials for industrial leadership” is defined as one of the key priorities for 2024.
