The government welcomes the proposal for an EU Council in Rome 70 years after the Treaties

The Italian government has accepted President Antonio Costa's proposal to hold the March 2027 European Council in Rome on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Treaties of Rome, an initiative that would allow the leaders to be brought back for a European summit in the place where the founding Treaties were signed seventy years ago. This was reported by Italian government sources.

This would be, the same sources underline, the first time since 2003 of an EU Council outside the usual seat of Brussels, as established by the Treaty of Nice. The decision is expected to be formally adopted in Brussels in the coming weeks.
