It's never a happy moment when someone leaves but we are opening a new chapter. We will devote all our energy to building a stronger, more ambitious #EU. With 27 strong democracies, strong values, freedoms, 22 million businesses, and the biggest single market. #FutureofEurope – at Brussels, Belgium

The challenges that Europe faces, and the opportunities that it can grasp, have not changed because of #Brexit. As part of this, we want to have the best possible relationship with the UK. But it will never be as good as membership. #NewBeginnings 🇪🇺🇬🇧
