Ahead of the March European Council, the ministers agreed that the agenda would cover a discussion on how to strengthen the economic base of the EU, the digital dimension, enlargement, as well as foreign policy issues, especially in the context of summits with China and India. During the meeting, ministers adopted a negotiating mandate, which from 2 March will be the basis for talks with the United Kingdom for the European Commission. The Commission also presented a new methodology for EU enlargement. Ensuring greater credibility, stronger political orientation, a more dynamic process and predictability are key elements of the revised proposal.

After the General Affairs Council meeting, there was a meeting of ministers from the so-called Cohesion Friends Group, whose main goal was to discuss the next phase of negotiations on the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027.
