Our President, António Vitorino, takes a stand on the main issues of the European Council of the 2829 June 2016 by answering the following questions.

• What is your analysis of the outcome of the British referendum in favour of an exit from the European Union?
• Do you believe that the British referendum could cause a knock-on effect on a European scale?
• What must national and European authorities do following the British referendum?
• The European Council is set to discuss the implementation of the Juncker Plan and support for growth and employment: what are your recommendations in these areas?
• EU leaders are being called on to assess the decisions taken to deal with the refugee crisis, and the EU-Turkey agreement in particular: what can we expect?
• The European Council will also decide on the new European security strategy presented by Federica Mogherini: what are the key challenges in your opinion?
