President: EU treaties shouldn’t be revised in debates on multiple-speed Europe

“Lithuania strictly opposes any amendments to the EU treaties as they contain all the instruments for close and efficient cooperation – we only need to use them effectively,” Grybauskaitė said in a press release issued during the EU summit in Brussels.

In the course of the meeting, leaders of EU states and governments are discussing the post-Brexit future of the organization. Guidelines of the EU’s development for the next decade should be approved during a celebration of EU’s 60-year anniversary in Rome on March 25.
