Following an intense round of meetings in France and Brussels, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen will chair an EU-Moldova summit on Monday 22 June to sustain progress toward Chisinau's membership goals.

EU officials launched formal accession talks with Moldova last week aimed at aligning national legislation with the EU legal system.

The European Council noted the session will review advances in rule-of-law standards, fundamental rights protections and efforts against organized crime.

EU legislators also aim to finalize the child sexual abuse directive on Monday as part of wider measures to enhance online safety for minors.

Commerce issues feature prominently in the coming days.

Trade commissioner Maros Sefcovic will meet Chinese commerce minister Wang Wentao late in June as Brussels considers fresh defense steps against certain Chinese imports. EU leaders at last week's summit asked the Commission to evaluate existing trade tools and develop additional measures if needed.

Before that meeting Sefcovic will receive Thailand deputy prime minister and commerce minister Suphajee Suthumpun on Wednesday to advance a trade agreement both sides hope to complete soon.
