Romania will be represented by prime minister Victor Ponta in the European Council to be held on Wednesday in Brussels. The main goals for the Romanian prime minister in the European Council include aligning Romania’s renewable energy policy with European standards, and regional energy interconnection. Ponta mentioned that one of the topics to be approached in Brussels will be a policy to protect vulnerable consumers, with Romania being one of its main beneficiaries.
Romania stands by its commitment to help strengthen a common energy policy, given the importance of this sector for the competitiveness and economic growth of the EU. The statement was made on Tuesday in Brussels by the Romanian foreign minister, Titus Corlăţean, who took part in the General Affairs Council meeting. He also said that Romania was open to revising the EU 2014-2020 budget in 2017, but without changing the amounts earmarked for member states. The national allocation for Romania for 2014-2020 is nearly 40 billion euros. Titus Corlăţean also expressed Romania’s support for measures to fight tax evasion and tax fraud.
