Mario Monti, professor and president of Bocconi University

For the launch of its Corporate Counsel Institute-Europe Georgetown Law could not have done better that to set the tone with a luminary such as Mario Monti, the keynote speaker. In his first term as an EU Commissioner, he was responsible for Internal Market, Financial Services and Financial Integration, Customs, and Taxation. From 1999 until 2004, he was the European Union Competition Commissioner, in which capacity he initiated anti-monopoly proceedings against Microsoft. He is currently professor and president of Bocconi University in Milan and the first chairman of Bruegel, a European think tank founded in 2005. We spoke with him about the huge silent convergence, the engines of economic growth in the EU and his upcoming report to EU Commission President Jose Barroso.
