PM Jansa, French Senate Speaker Discussed Bilateral, EU Issues

Prime Minister Janez Jansa received Wednesday French Senate Speaker Christian Poncelet. The pair discussed bilateral relations and topical EU issues.

Jansa and Poncelet expressed their pleasure over the well-developing cooperation between the two countries in the fields of economy, culture and politics.
They agreed on the importance of strengthening political contacts, especially important as Slovenia will pass on its EU chairmanship to France in the second half of 2008.
The pair shared the view that the process to strengthen the global role of the EU should continue and touched on the importance of EU policies towards the bloc's neighbouring countries.
Jansa and Poncelet called for the continuation of the enlargement process in the Western Balkans.
They discussed migrations and agreed that the expansion of the Schengen regime across the entire EU would help the bloc to face these challenges more effectively.
