Arrival of Antonio TAJANI, EP President and official welcome by Representatives of the Romanian Parliament (4 shots)

SOUNDBITE (English), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, We have had a lot of meetings today with the Romanian authorities, with the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister, with the government and with the Parliament on the upcoming Romanian Presidency. The most important points were Brexit, the rule of law, the Dublin reform, immigration, security and the Balkans. We are paving the way for a good Romanian Presidency. It will be a very important Presidency because in May we will have the European Elections. For this, we need from the beginning of the Romanian Presidency to work hard for achieving the most important results. I am happy, but we need to work hard from the 1st of January.

SOUNDBITE (English), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, Romania is ready for chairing the Presidency of the Council. We need to divide the two problems: the internal problems and the organisation of the beginning of the Presidency in 2019.
