BBC World Service - Business Daily, Europe's Last Chance?

The EU is in an existential crisis, one of the EU's chief Brexit negotiators says.

The European Parliament's chief Brexit negotiator, Guy Verhofstadt, tell us the European Union is in the midst of an existential crisis and that it must reform to survive.

As the UK takes another big step towards leaving the European Union, we ask Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament's chief Brexit negotiator, whether the EU can survive Britain's departure. He tells us how he thinks it can reform in the face of multiple threats and the backlash he sees developing against rising populism. Plus, Arctic explorer Christina Franco tells us how she goes about getting private sector funding for her expeditions.
