Germany, France, Spain and Italy backed the idea of a multi-speed EU


Bulgaria is against the model of multi-speed Europe proposed as one option by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. Clarifying Bulgaria's position for the European Council, the ministers reached a conclusion that Bulgaria should advocate for reaching consensus on common goals and solidarity with front-line states in the migrant crisis. Bulgaria also calls for access to the Schengen visa information system which will enable real-time checks of information on people crossing the border.
