Sandro Gozi - Undersecretary of State for European Affairs - of Italy and Gregor Peter Schmitz - journalist at Der Spiegel - came together at Bruegel on June 20 to discuss the Italian presidency's strategy for the EU.

 

"The EU needs a fresh start," Gozi noted. "And a fresh start is the motto we have chosen to define the new political cycle of the European Union."

 

"Our semester cannot be a transition semester in terms of policies," he continued."It should be considered as the first six months of the upcoming five years of renewal."
