I want majority votes for certain political areas of the EU — Emmanuel Macron

French President Emmanuel Macron he said on Monday that he wants more majority votes for certain EU policy areas and called for reforming EU texts so the bloc can become more effective, Reuters reported. There will be conflicts over EU reform, but we should not cower, she said, adding that there is already a Europe of different speeds, but differentiation is needed to make the EU more effective.

His comments come after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said earlier in the day that unanimous voting in key areas of EU policy no longer makes sense if the EU wants to be able to move faster. .

A recent EU report showed there is support among EU citizens for scrapping unanimous voting on some issues if it means the 27-nation bloc will be fairer and better able to make quick decisions.
