The 14th Brussels Wednesday Social <[link removed]>, featuring European Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni <[link removed]>, which will once again be held online on Wednesday, 8 July 2020. 



The current pandemic has confronted Europe with the risk of a considerable economic downturn. This real and present danger has led many to argue for a coordinated and substantial recovery package, that will allow EU member states, companies and citizens to weather the storm. But the debate has become polarized and agreement on the size, type and financing of that package remains elusive.



The event will bring together key stakeholders to discuss how the EU can rise to the occasion and put in place the necessary measures to shield itself from the economic downturn and build the foundations for financial, fiscal and monetary stability in the years to come.
