Ministers of EU countries will discuss a proposal to cancel or limit the unanimous principle of decision-making on foreign policy at a meeting in Brussels.
Politico writes about it.
"I am very optimistic that progress can be made on the issue of qualified majority voting," German European Affairs Minister Anna Lührmann said before the meeting.
Today, every EU country has a veto on issues such as sanctions against Russia.
"We are discussing the areas in which this may be possible, especially in the field of common foreign and security policy," Lührmann said, adding that the overall response of the Russian bloc has repeatedly "been stalled by one member state."
Ministers are considering a mechanism that would allow countries to move from unanimity to majority voting in the EU Council without the need to change EU treaties.
As you know, Hungary regularly blocks EU decisions on sanctions against Russia, demanding various concessions or amendments.
