20th of November at 17:30 in Brussels (Avenue des Arts 56, 1000)
During the past years, the French-German alliance has often been balanced by the influence of the UK. Without the UK, what new dynamics will emerge between Member States?
Do the recent initiatives — led jointly by France, Germany, Italy and Spain (informal summits, digital economy proposals) — augur a new leading quartet for the EU, which will lean more towards Southern interests and concerns than it did in the past? What kind of change can we expect in the political priorities of the EU?
