The government of Brussels region will create a working group that will deal with the issues relating to Brexit.
The Head of coordination group will become external trade secretary of the Brussels Capital Region – Cécile Jodogne. The aim of this group will be to prepare the region for Britain’s eventual departure from the European Union.
The group’s missions will include positioning and promoting Brussels as an attractive location for:
– financial services,
– creation of company headquarters,
– the creation of new businesses – media and other businesses that rely on access to the European single market.
The group will organise seminars in London throughout this year, as well as in Korea, India, Japan and the United States.
It will also develop a marketing strategy to convey a positive image to British companies and authorities. Also this group is going to conduct a full study on the impact Brexit could have on the Brussels economy.
