Borrell calls for abolition of right of veto of EU countries in foreign policy decisions

Head of the EU foreign policy service Josep Borrell called for stripping the EU countries of the right of veto in foreign policy, moving to decision-making by majority vote

Report informs via TASS that Borrel was speaking at an expert conference on the state of the EU in Florence, which was broadcast by the European Commission.

He said he supports qualified majority decision-making in EU foreign policy, but the problem is that consensus is needed to abolish decision-making by consensus. And this means that EU countries will have to give up the right of veto, which many do not want, he said.
