MEP Ioan Mircea Pascu stated on Thursday, in Mamaia, at the opening of the Summer School of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) 's Women's Organisation that Romania may encounter several obstacles in taking over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, considering that as far as the internal policy is concerned, a six-month truce is needed throughout the mandate, according to Agerpres.
"Let us not forget that others, from abroad will raise hurdles in our way. Let us not believe that everybody is happy if Romania has a good presidency and we can expect obstacles of this kind. let us not forget that we have our agenda, but you see, as Ms. Rovana Plumb has said, there are already cases that we take over unfinished from other parties and we will have to make a compromise between our files and the files we will have to take over," Deputy President of the European Parliament Ioan Mircea Pascu affirmed.
He further said that there might be a "boycott", caused by the internal political fight, deeming that a truce is needed throughout Romania's mandate of the Presidency of the Council of the EU.
"Just as during the old days, at the Olympics, the Greek would stop fighting each other during the Olympics, perhaps we should stop too, for these six months, and have a truce," Ioan Mircea Pascu maintained.
