“I have never hailed and will never hail CETA (the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement). On the contrary, as president of Bulgaria and guardian of the Bulgarian Constitution I am going to refer the matter of its lawfulness to the Constitutional Court. From this point on this agreement is in the hands of the Bulgarian parliament which should either ratify it or not.” This is what Bulgarian President Rumen Radev said speaking to Bulgarian media in Brussels where he joined the European Council meeting. The head of state has found contradictions in the Roman declaration now in the making on the future of the European Union. He has submitted amendments to the text, including guarantees for safeguarding the cohesion policy that provides funds to poorer economies helping them to catch up with more advanced ones.

The final text will be passed on 25 March in Rome.
