The joint committees on European affairs, foreign policy and defence of Romania's Parliament on Friday had a meeting with High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission Federica Mogherini. The discussion conclusion was that the European Union must strengthen its global position and role.
"This is only possible through a closer collaboration among member states and through European policies, to the benefit of the citizens," a Friday release to Agerpres points out. According to the release, the EU High Representative reviewed the five wide foreign action priorities of the EU - the Union's security; the resilience of the states and societies in the east and south of the Union; an integrated approach of conflicts; regional orders based on cooperation; the global governance for the 21st century.
Mogherini appreciated Romania's contribution, underscoring the importance of a secured European border and pointed out that "in the migrants' situation it does not only needs solidarity, but a global approach - once a decision made by the Council it must be assumed by all member states."In the beginning there was an extraordinary pressure as long as lives were lost in the attempt to take refuge in European countries. Solutions must be found differently by approaching the immediate problems, of saving human lives and integrating them in a new environment, with other values and traditions, as well as the long term approach of problems, which entails investments in the conflict zones for the economic and social development of the area," Federica Mogherini pointed out, according to the release. In respect to the migration phenomenon, the EU High Representative concluded that "partnership is the key to solving any problem we are confronted with, therefore this one, too."
