The Lisbon Treaty delivered substantial institutional changes to the EU’s institutional set-up. It decapitated the rotating Council Presidency but at the same time strengthened the legislative role of the Council of Ministers. Two years after its coming into force the time has come to take stock and to evaluate the impact of the EU’s new rule-book on the Council Presidency. Given the ongoing euro crisis that hits the EU as never before, does the rotating Presidency still matter? Was the Belgian Presidency able to set precedents for future presidencies? How did Hungary and Poland perform and what is to be expected from Denmark and Cyprus?

Readjusting the Council Presidency Belgian Leadership in the EU
Steven Van Hecke Peter Bursens (eds.)
|
|
By taking a close look at the institutional changes, the particularities of Belgium and the policy areas that are on the EU’s agenda, this book investigates how the rotating Presidency is affected by the Lisbon Treaty and how the 2010 Belgian Presidency has implemented the EU’s new rule-book. It shows that Belgium has created a new style rotating Presidency, going back to the basics of chairing the Council while adjusting it to its new political and institutional environment. In this way the Belgian Presidency has set precedents for the rotating Presidency to come. This book is recommended to scholars, practitioners, students in EU politics and anyone who has an active interest in the way the rotating Council Presidency functions today.
