António COSTA, Portuguese Prime Minister, is the third EU leader to debate the future of Europe with MEPs and Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the EC, on Wednesday morning.

The Europeans want the EU to change. This is why the European Parliament is taking the leadership over a reform of the EU.

Parliament set out its vision for the future of Europe in three resolutions voted in plenary session on 16 February 2017. MEPs suggested, among other things:

<ul>
	<li>turning the Council of Ministers into a genuine second legislative chamber, and its configurations into preparatory bodies similar to Parliament’s committees,</li>
	<li>appointing an EU finance minister and giving the EU Commission the power to formulate and give effect to a common EU economic policy, backed up by a euro-area budget, and</li>
	<li>creating a fiscal capacity consisting of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and specific additional budgetary capacity for the euro area, funded by its members as a part of the EU budget.</li>
</ul>

China is the EU's second-largest trading partner for trade in goods alone, after the United States. For the EU, ensuring reciprocity, achieving a level-playing field, and addressing asymmetries in the relationship are matters of priority. The EU remains committed to addressing these challenges through dialogue with China and underscores the importance of the WTO as the best avenue to address the root causes of the current imbalance.

Conference of Presidents (CoP) with the participation of Antonio COSTA, President of the European Council: arrivals and roundtable

This News item presents extracts from the meeting between His Majesty Felipe VI, King of Spain, Marcelo REBELO DE SOUSA, President of Portugal and Roberta METSOLA, EP President. Greetings with Antonio COSTA, President of the European Council His Majesty Felipe VI, King of Spain, and Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa address MEPs during a formal sitting to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the accession of Spain and Portugal to the European Union. Spain and Portugal signed their accession treaties to join the then-European Communities on 12 June 1985 and their membership became effective on 1 January 1986. Their integration in the European project was widely seen as a key step in full transition of the two countries to democracy, after several decades of dictatorship, which ended in 1974 in Portugal and 1975 in Spain. The EU has further expanded since 1986, growing from 12 to 27 member states.
