WARSAW (Sputnik) — Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo opened on Monday a round of public consultations on the Brexit's impact on the country with the participation of Polish officials, trade unions and employer organizations, government's spokesman Rafal Bochenek said.
"The Britain's exit from the European Union (EU) is the process, which will have importance for Poland and our domestic economy. Therefore, Prime Minister Beata Szydlo started on Monday a round of public consultations on the issue with the participation of the government's officials and social partners," Bochenek was quoted as saying by the Polish PAP News Agency.
According to the spokesman, Szydlo also said that such consultations would enable Poland to formulate views on the topic and further present them during the EU summit.
On June 23, the United Kingdom held a referendum to determine whether or not the country should leave the European Union. According to the final results, 51.9 percent of voters, or 17.4 million people, decided to support Brexit, while about 16.1 million opposed it.
On September 16, the European Union member states are scheduled to hold a summit in Bratislava to address EU pressing issues and agree on future policy guidelines for the bloc after the Brexit.
