Bayer CEO On Europe's 'Identity Crisis'

The UK's decision to leave the European Union and a change in global politics that has prompted emotions to get in the way of facts are the catalysts for Europe's current identity crisis, says Bayer chief Werner Baumann. During the company's annual financial results presentation in Leverkusen, Germany, the CEO also called on European regulators to better protect innovation during times of political uncertainty.
