2016 will be an important year in determining the future of Europe. Member countries of the European Union will have to respond to the UK's reform agenda. They will also have to make much needed decisions to increase competitiveness, stimulate growth and create jobs, while facing multiple challenges stemming from the recent economic and financial crisis, the rising level of insecurity in the EU's neighbourhood and the unprecedented magnitude of migration sweeping through Europe. Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó will outline Hungary's perspective on the future of Europe.
