Although saddened by this event, the COMECE Standing Committee respect the will expressed by the British citizens during the 2016 Referendum and assure that, “even though the UK will no longer be part of the EU, it will still continue being part of Europe”.

COMECE will work to maintain fraternal relations between the EU and the UK and rebuild through them a sense of community in Europe.
