Pier Carlo Padoan, Italian Finance Minister and chair of the PES ECOFIN Ministers’ Network, commented after the meeting: ‘The decision of British citizens to leave the European Union has been met with a great regret in our political family. The BREXIT has an impact on both the EU and the UK, but it has given the EU the opportunity to reflect and assess its future ambitions and aims. This dramatic event can also bring new opportunities to make the European Union more stable, more equal and more economically robust’.
