[PIO] Minister of State for European Affairs to participate in the Informal EU General Affairs Council

Deputy Minister of State for European Affairs Marilena Raouna will travel to Brussels tomorrow, where she will participate in the Informal General Affairs Council of the European Union (EU), which will take place between 29-30 April.

The issues to be discussed at the Informal Council are the rule of law in the context of the enlargement process and the future of Europe. More specifically, the work of the Informal Council will start with a working breakfast, where Member States and countries with a European perspective will discuss the challenges, needs and best practices around rule of law reforms in the context of the enlargement process.

Member State ministers will then discuss ways to strengthen the Union's toolbox for the implementation of the rule of law, based on a study by the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (INDEA).
