Comment Neelie (Kroes)

[...] You know, my hometown is Rotterdam: the largest port in Europe, one of the biggest in the world; hundreds of millions of tonnes of trade pass through each year. My family’s business was in road transport. We specialised in getting hard-to-move things across borders. So ever since I was young I've seen the opportunities from connecting with the outside world. Be it economic, social or cultural opportunities. So it should come as no surprise to you that I believe in the benefits of trade and openness. It's in my blood.
