The French official "will voice France's support for a successful Romanian presidency of the Council of the European Union, which has major stakes on the table," the cited source highlights.
"The Romanian Presidency will have to finalize the review of the European asylum system, taking into account the principles of solidarity and responsibility, and to advance the discussions on the EU budget in the period 2021-2027, paying close attention to reconcile traditional policies and the financing of new priorities," the site of the Embassy of France further informs.
