SOUNDBITE (English), Irene TINAGLI (S&amp;D, IT), I would like to welcome the Commissioner-designate for the economy Mr Paolo Gentiloni as well member of the ECON committee as the responsible lead committee for this hearing.

SOUNDBITE (Italian), Paolo GENTILONI, Commissioner-designate, Economy, The years we have behind us working towards overcoming the economic crisis and returning to growth, there were no shortage of challenges. Brexit and the unkown outcoming surrounding the exit, has brought about confusion and hostility from some of our citizens towards the Union, geopolitical uncertainty and the questions regarding the speed of the technological transition.
