President of the Senate Calin Popescu-Tariceanu believes that the role of the Association of European Senates, whose 19th meeting takes place on Friday at the Parliament Palace, should be strengthened in order to respond to challenges "in a cohesive manner."
He underscored that Romania, by taking over the Presidency of the Council of the EU between January-June 2019 will have to "pass an exam," "a decisive test" in front of millions of Europeans.
