Let me share another thought with you: the British referendum – and the refugee crisis – were a wake-up call to work harder on convincing ideas for the future design of the European Union and for the division of labour between the European Union and its member states.
Recent developments have made it very clear to everyone that we need to put more effort into creating a realistic vision for Europe that its citizens will support. Discussions on the future set-up of intra-European relationships and the relationships with our partners abroad have been gaining momentum recently. This debate will help to improve the architecture of Europe.
