Romania's presidency at the Council of the European Union on Tuesday kicked off negotiations with the European Parliament to ensure the best premises for the use of the future European money, as provided by the Cohesion Policy, the European Funds Ministry (MFE) informs Wednesday in a release.

The European Funds Minister Rovana Plumb, in her capacity of president of the Cohesion-format General Affairs Council, in the name of the EU Council's presidency, the co-rapporteurs of the European Parliament and the Commissioner for Regional policy, Corina Cretu, have agreed on a bold negotiations calendar.
"Such an approach is necessary to ensure the programming, the management and the implementation of the future European funds at the level of all the Member States of the EU.

Trialogues are informal three-party meetings at the EU level negotiations on the legislation to be adopted. They take place between the representatives of the EU Council, the EP, and the EC. The goal of a trialogue is to reach a provisional agreement on a text acceptable for both the EU Council and the European Parliament, the MFE adds. During a trialogue, talks are eased by the co-legislator hosting the meeting - be they the European Parliament or the EU Council. The two bodies each explain their position during a debate. The European Commission acts as a mediator in view of completing an accord between the co-legislators.
