They say the world is changing because the U.S. and China are competing, and this affects security, energy, technology, and trade.
The EU needs to take care of its own security and grow its economy to stay important.
The report also talks about how other countries like India and the Gulf states are affected by these changes.
It's like a new game of chess with more rules and players.
