Bilcik: CoFoE conclusions show need for changes to Treaty on Functioning of EU

The conclusions of the Conference on the Future of Europe (CoFoE) showed the need for changes to the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU, Slovak MEP Vladimir Bilcik (Together) has told TASR in an interview. According to Bilcik, the European Parliament has already tasked the Committee on Constitutional Affairs (AFCO) with preparing a draft reform of the treaty. "There's a strong call for us to launch another convention on the future of Europe that might be the first step towards changing the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU," said Bilcik, adding that such a convention was last held 20 years ago.
