Speech at the EU Ambassadors Lunch, october, 2 2017

Nowadays, we are looking for a narrative for Europe, a narrative for the Future. Unfortunately,it took us too long to come up with a "common story". It took us Brexit to come up with such narrative, based on the common values of freedom, democracy and the rule of law and underpinned by the principles of solidarityand identity.

However, alongside a "story"of common identity, we also need concrete solutionsthat resonate with our citizens’ aspirations and needs.Let me just recall,as example,the end of roaming charges: it has made more to the building of the European identity than many other projects!
