In this episode of our ‘Today in the EU’ podcast, we’re looking into this week's EU summit and the pressing topics on the agenda.

EU leaders are meeting in Brussels on 17-18 April for an informal EU summit to hammer out the Union’s common reaction to Iran’s attack on Israel and discuss the bloc's competitiveness and economy.

To understand better what to expect from the discussion, we spoke with Alexandra Brzozowski, Euractiv’s global Europe editor, and Thomas Moller-Nielsen, Euractiv’s economy reporter.
