\nover the presidency of the Council of the European Union, PM Viorica D\u0103ncil\u0103 has
\ntoday met with the Secretary General of the Council of the European Union, Jeppe

\nGovernment of Romania and the College of Commissioners, which is traditionally
\norganised before a member state takes over the presidency of the Council of the
\nEuropean Union. Romania’s motto for its
\nsix month tenure of the presidency will be Cohesion, a common European value.
\nThe cohesion policy is aimed at reducing economic, social and territorial gaps
\nor disparities among the member states, the regions and citizens of the
\nEuropean Union. Also, Romania, will actively contribute to identifying the most
\nadequate common answers to such issues as the consolidation of the European
\nmigration and asylum policy and managing challenges to European domestic
\npolicy. Also, Great Britain’s withdrawal from the community bloc, the single
\nmarket and negotiations for the future multi-annual financial framework are
\nissues on the agenda of the meeting between the College of Commissioners and
\nthe Government of Romania. <\/p>\n
