TheBasque Government's Industry Advisor, Mikel Jauregui , has recalled that the Basque industry is "absolutely exporting" and that " more than EUR 2000 millionof Basque exports are at stake ".
"But that would also be a shock to Europe, which is the destination of two-thirds of our exports, which increases that uncertainty and directly affects our industrial fabric," he warned.

"We have many common values between the two blocs, which must serve to find a mutually beneficial solution. Now more than ever, we must invest in cooperation between countries that share so many values, "concludes Jáuregui.
