France’s presidency of the EU in the first half of the year and Emanuel Macron’s likely reelection as president in May will focus attention on France – the motor of EU integration along with Germany. With the UK out of the EU and a new German chancellor finding his feet, expect Macron to become Europe’s main man.
What can Europe expect from the French Presidency? And how can France remain a driving force in the EU with politicians’ eyes on the ballot box?
POLITICO LIVE is connecting the dots between the capital of the EU and the incoming Presidency to answer these important questions. Hosted in Brussels, this event will feature a 30-minute discussion with Clément Beaune, minister of state for European affairs of France followed by a networking reception. A selected audience of top EU and national decision-makers, industry experts, and academics will be invited.
