Roberta Metsola (PPE)

The Commission presented its Spring economic forecast on Tuesday, 5 May 2015, expecting that real GDP in 2015 will rise by 1.8% in the EU and by 1.5% in the euro area, 0.1 and 0.2 percentage points higher than projected three months ago.

Can the Commission specify what will be the impact of changing geopolitics on this economic forecast?
