比利时已同意将下次3月的欧盟领导人峰会移至罗马，以纪念《罗马条约》签署70周年。一位熟悉情况的消息人士周四向贝尔加通讯社透露了这一消息。
Belgium has agreed to move next March's European Union leaders summit to Rome to mark the 70th anniversary of theg of the Treaty of Rome, a source familiar with the matter told Belga news agency on Thursday.
峰会预计将于2027年3月25日举行，这一天正好是《罗马条约》签署70周年，当年该条约在意大利首都签署，为欧盟奠定了基础。
The summit is expected to be held on March 25, 2027, exactly 70 years after the treaties that laid the foundations for the European Union were signed in the Italian capital.
消息人士称，欧盟理事会主席安东尼奥·科斯塔在此前今年秋季对欧洲首都的访问中，在与比利时首相巴特·德韦弗的会晤中提出了这一搬迁建议。比利时政府消息人士证实，该国已批准该请求。
European Council President Antonio Costa is said to have proposed the move in a meeting with Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever as part of his tour of European capitals earlier this autumn, the source said. Belgian government sources confirmed that the country had approved the request.
然而，这一举动需要欧盟理事会规则作出例外，因为该规则规定，欧盟国家元首和政府首脑必须在每个六个月期间在布鲁塞尔举行两次正式峰会。
The move, however, requires an exception to the European Council's rules, which stipulate that EU heads of state and government must hold two formal summits in Brussels during each six-month period.
根据规定，欧盟理事会主席在特殊情况下可以决定在布鲁塞尔以外召开峰会，但前提是该决定须获得所有成员国的一致批准。因此，每个成员国都拥有对该提案行使否决权的权利。
Under the rules, the European Council president may decide to convene a summit outside Brussels in exceptional circumstances, provided the decision receives unanimous approval from all member states. Each member state therefore has the right to veto the proposal.
1957年3月25日，两项条约签署，为今天的欧盟奠定了基础：一是建立欧洲经济共同体（EEC）的条约，该条约在比利时、西德、法国、意大利、卢森堡和荷兰之间建立了单一市场；二是建立欧洲原子能共同体（Euratom）的条约，同样由上述国家签署。
On March 25, 1957, two treaties were signed that laid the foundations for today's EU: the treaty establishing the European Economic Community (EEC), which created a single market between Belgium, West Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, and the treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) among those same countries.
