Brexit: discussion on the state of play on Tuesday afternoon
The Constitutional Affairs Committee will debate the state of play on Brexit with EP Brexit coordinator Guy Verhofstadt on Tuesday at around 15.00.
Parliament’s Brexit coordinator Guy Verhofstadt (Renew Europe, BE) and Antonio Tajani (EPP, IT), Committee Chair and member of the Parliament’s Brexit Steering Group, will discuss the state of play on Brexit with Constitutional Affairs Committee MEPs.
