Outlook for the European Council of 28-29 June 2016

Briefing 27-06-2016

The European Council meeting to be held on 28-29 June 2016 will discuss the outcome of the UK referendum held on 23 June 2016, where 51.9 per cent of those voting opted for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union. As a consequence, the other agenda items foreseen - external aspects of migration, jobs, growth and competitiveness, and external relations - will probably receive less attention.
