Romania will have to deal with heavy issues, such as the Brexit. It will also have to deal with the negotiations around the multi-annual financial framework, a tough mission, needing 27 votes for an algorithm to balance investments to enhance cohesion and reduce differences between east and west. The election for the European Parliament in May is another major issue in Romania's upcoming term. At the same time, it has to deal with dozens of legislative cases essential for the future of the Union, some of them ongoing, some of them finalized. Hundreds of negotiations, meetings, and debates will have to be held.
