Resumen Portugal is a democratic republic with a unitary semi-presidential system of government, whereby the Prime Minister of
Portugal is the head of government. The current Prime Minister is António Luís Santos da Costa, from the Socialist
Party, and a former MEP who was a Vice-President of the European Parliament between July 2004 and March 2005.
The President of Portugal, Marcelo de Sousa, from the Social Democrat Party, is the executive head of state and has
several significant political powers. Executive power is exercised by the President and the Council of Ministers.
Legislative power is vested in both the government and the Assembly of the Republic. The Judiciary of Portugal is
independent of the executive and the legislature. The political landscape is composed of several political parties,
primarily the Socialist Party (PS) and the Social Democratic Party (PSD). Other parties are the Popular Party (PP), the
Portuguese Communist Party (PCP), the Left Bloc (BE) and the Green Ecologist Party (PEV). The Communists and
the Greens are in coalition as the Unitary Democratic Coalition (UDC). Portugal will hold the Presidency of the
European Council for the fourth time from 1 January 2021. The last time it held the Presidency was in 2007, when the
Treaty of Lisbon was signed on 13 December 2007. Portugal is part of the Trio also composed of Germany and
Slovenia. The Trio adopted a Declaration outlining the main areas of focus for their Trio, including democracy, human
rights and the rule of law, as well as an economically strong EU based on growth and jobs and the social dimension.
Likewise the three Member States pledged to work on the challenges of digitalisation, climate change and energy
transition. The Strategic Agenda 2019-2024 endorsed by the Member States at the European Council on 20 June 2019
will remain, however, a guiding instrument. The Agenda covers the protection of citizens' freedoms; developing a
strong and vibrant economic base; building a climate-neutral, green, fair and social Europe; and promoting European
interests and values on the global stage.

Resumen Germany is a federal parliamentary republic, with federal power vested in the Bundestag (the German parliament) and
the Bundesrat (the representatives of Germany's regional states, Länder). The Bundestag is the only body at the
federal level directly elected by the people, and is currently composed of 709 members. The Bundestag is elected
every four years by German citizens aged 18 and over. The current Bundestag is led by the CDU (Christian
Democratic Union) with 33 % of representation, followed by the SPD (Social Democratic Party) with 24 % and then by
the AFD (Alternative for Germany) with 11 %. These are followed by: the Free Democratic Party (FDP), the Left (Die
Linke), Alliance 90/The Greens (Grüne) and the Christian Social Union (CSU). Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has
been in office since 2005, heads the executive government. The executive is elected by the Bundestag and is
responsible to it. The German head of state is the federal President, currently Frank-Walter Steinmeier. The federal
President has a role in the political system, particularly in the establishment of a new government and its possible
dissolution. Germany has held the Council Presidency 12 times since becoming a founding member of the European
Economic Community in 1957. The country last held the Presidency in 2008. It will take the helm of the EU Council
Presidency on 1 July 2020, starting the trio Presidency composed of Germany, Portugal and Slovenia. The Trio has
adopted a Declaration outlining the main areas of focus for their Trio, including democracy, human rights and the rule
of law, as well as an economically strong EU based on growth and jobs and the social dimension. Likewise the three
Member States have pledged to work on the challenges of digitalisation, climate change and energy transition. It is to
be noted that the Trio is working on a revised declaration to reflect the changed situation in Europe due to the
coronavirus pandemic. The Strategic Agenda 2019-2024 endorsed by the Member States at the European Council
meeting of 20 June 2019 will remain, however, a guiding instrument. The Agenda covers the protection of citizens'
freedoms; developing a strong and vibrant economic base; building a climate-neutral, green, fair and social Europe;
and promoting European interests and values on the global stage.

Resumen For the first time since joining the European Union in 2013, Croatia will hold the rotating Council Presidency from 1
January to 30 June 2020. Croatia is a parliamentary, representative democratic republic, where the Prime Minister of
Croatia is the head of government in a multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government and the
President of Croatia. Legislative power is vested in the Croatian Parliament. The judiciary is independent of the
executive and the legislature. Parliament adopted the current Constitution of Croatia on 22 December 1990 and
decided to declare independence from Yugoslavia on 25 May 1991. The Croatian Parliament is the unicameral
representative body of the citizens of the Republic of Croatia. Under the terms of the Croatian Constitution, the ‘Sabor’
represents the people and is vested with legislative power. The Sabor is composed of 151 members elected for a four-
year term based on direct, universal and equal suffrage by secret ballot. Seats are allocated according to the Croatian
Parliament electoral districts: 140 members of the parliament are elected in multi-seat constituencies, 8 from the
minorities and 3 from the Croatian diaspora. Since 19 October 2016, the Prime Minister of Croatia is Mr Andrej
Plenković. There are four deputy prime ministers: Davor Božinović, Zdravko Marić, Damir Krstičević and Predrag
Štromar. The government ministers are from the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and the Croatian People's Party -
Liberal Democrats (HNS), with two further ministers being independent politicians. The Croatian Democratic Union
(Croatian: Hrvatska demokratska zajednica or HDZ, literally Croatian Democratic Community) is a liberal conservative
political party and the main centre-right political party in Croatia. It is one of the two major contemporary political
parties in Croatia, along with the centre-left Social Democratic Party (SDP). It is currently the largest party in the Sabor
with 55 seats.

Resumen Austria will hold the EU Council Presidency from July to December 2018. Its presidency comes at the end of the Trio
Presidency composed of Estonia, Bulgaria and Austria. The last time Austria held the Council Presidency was in 2006.
A EUROPE THAT PROTECTS is the motto Austria has chosen for its Presidency. Austria considers that there have
been several crises in recent years that have given rise to mistrust in the EU amongst European citizens. This mistrust
needs to be addressed. To this end, the Austrian Presidency has announced three main priorities for its term in office:
security, competitiveness and stability. On security, it intends to focus on the fight against illegal migration, by securing
Europe's external borders, and on the reform of the Common European Asylum System. On competitiveness, it will
work on matters related to the digital single market, specifically digitalisation. On stability, it has announced its intention
to work towards EU accession of the Western Balkan countries.

Resumen At an informal meeting on 23 February 2018, 27 Heads of State or Government (the UK did not take part as the
discussion were future oriented) discussed two major topics: institutional issues, in particular the future composition of
the European Parliament and high-level EU appointments, including the Spitzenkandidaten process, on the one hand,
and the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), on the other. Conducted as part of the Leaders' Agenda, the
meeting did not produce formal conclusions. According to post-summit statements by the President of the European
Council, Donald Tusk, the idea of a European Parliament with fewer MEPs after Brexit was broadly supported,
however Heads of State or Government agreed that there could not be any automaticity in proposing, for President of
the European Commission, the lead candidate put forward by the European party having come first at the European
elections. As regards the MFF, they expressed the view that reaching an agreement in the European Council by the
end of 2018 would be very difficult. Heads of State or Government took the opportunity to address other issues briefly,
expressing their support for Cyprus and Greece regarding developments with Turkey in the eastern Mediterranean and
the Aegean, and urging the Assad regime and its backers to stop the violence in Syria. The European Council
President also informed his colleagues that draft guidelines on the future EU-UK relationship will be presented at the
22-23 March European Council meeting.

dialogue with EU citizens, Bulgaria will strive to achieve progress in the field of security, employment, sustainable
growth and ensuring a stronger EU presence on the world stage. In particular, it tasks itself with focusing on youth
questions and security issues as horizontal priorities. The Bulgarian government has announced three broad

Resumen On 1 July 2016, Slovakia will take over the six-month rotating Presidency of the Council of the EU from The
Netherlands, as part of the Dutch-Slovak-Maltese 'Trio Presidency'. The Slovak "coalition of historic compromise" was
only sworn in on 23 March 2016 and Prime Minister Robert Fico was just released from hospital at the beginning of
May after heart surgery, still the Slovak government is expected to steer a challenging Presidency programme. On 24
February 2016, the (previous) Slovak government adopted the framework agenda of the Slovak Presidency, yet the
final Presidency programme will be approved by the government on 29 June 2016.
In the first half of the year, the Commission has put on the table the politically most important legislative dossiers, such
as the energy security package, proposals for e-commerce, an action plan to fight against corporate tax evasion, the
review of the posting of workers directive, the establishment of a European Border and Coast Guard and
recommendations for visa liberalisation in Ukraine and Turkey. As of May 2016, of around 140 active ordinary
legislative procedures, some 25 are being negotiated by the co-legislators in view of a first or (early) second reading
agreement. This note aims to present the state of affairs in the priority fields of the Slovak Presidency, as well as the
most important related dossiers to be addressed by the Presidency in the next semester.
As the fastest growing eurozone member between 2004 and 2014, Slovakia will be closely following the debate on the
creation of a fiscal capacity for the eurozone; and as the largest car producer per capita in the world, it will also be
sensitive to the adoption of market surveillance rules and limitations in emissions from cars. Other priorities will include
the implementation of the Capital Markets Union proposals, the completion of stage 1 of the Economic and Monetary
Union, delivering on Energy Union measures and the Single Market, as well as external relations with a particular
focus on transatlantic ties and Eastern Partnership. Slovak political priorities will inevitably address the migration crisis,
a revision of the Dublin system and the fight against terrorism.
In the second half of the year, institutional changes are also likely be on the agenda, concerning namely the mid-term

Resumen Our towns and cities are home to nearly three quarters of the EU's population and most EU policies concern them, be
it directly or indirectly.
Within the EU, a shared vision of urban development has gradually taken shape at inter-governmental level. At the
same time there have been increasing calls for concrete action and the development of an EU Urban Agenda to give
city authorities and stakeholders a greater say in the process. To help guide these discussions, the European
Commission launched a public consultation following its July 2014 Communication on the Urban Dimension of EU
policies. Its findings indicate broad support among city stakeholders for an EU Urban Agenda. The European
Parliament has also prepared an own-initiative report on the issue as part of this process, which was adopted at the
September 2015 plenary session.
The revised 2014-2020 Cohesion Policy framework introduced a number of new instruments intended to increase the
role of cities in cohesion programming and implementation and thus enhance the urban dimension of cohesion
funding. With the launch of Urban Innovative Actions and the introduction of the first four urban partnerships, recent
months have seen both a strengthening of the cohesion policy framework and the first concrete action towards rolling
out the Urban Agenda.
Building on this momentum, the Dutch Council Presidency has put forward an ambitious roadmap for the coming
months, which should lead to the signing in May 2016 of the Pact of Amsterdam, a binding political commitment to
deliver on the promise of an EU Urban Agenda.
This briefing is an update of an earlier one published in July 2015.

Resumen From January to June 2016, The Netherlands will hold the Presidency of the EU Council for the 12th time, kicking off
the Dutch-Slovak-Maltese Trio Presidency.
For the first semester of 2016, the Commission's soon ending 2015 work programme will largely determine the
legislative agenda as nearly all major proposals will have been put on the table by the end of this year. As of 16
December 2015, there are 140 active ordinary legislative procedures, of which 23 have been agreed by the co-
legislators at political level and around 30 are being negotiated in view of a first or (early) second reading agreement.
The Dutch EU Presidency will pursue the following priorities: (i) improving quality and simplification of legislation; (ii)
growth and jobs (internal market, innovation and digital economy); and (iii) active involvement of citizens and civil
society in policymaking.
This note aims to present the state of affairs in the policy fields of Dutch priority, as well as the most important related
dossiers to be addressed by the Dutch Presidency.

Resumen The EU Heads of State or Government will hold an extraordinary, informal European Council meeting on 23
September 2015, with the aim of trying to reach an agreement on possible responses to the current migration crisis.
The President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, has stressed the need to focus on how to address the situation
in countries of origin and transit in the Union's neighbourhood. The annotated draft agenda of the next regular
European Council, scheduled for the 15-16 October already foresaw a "substantial discussion on migration in all its
aspects". The European Council was expected to take stock of what has been done since the June European Council,
to prepare the 11-12 November 2015 international summit in Valletta and discuss the follow-up to the Western Balkan
route high-level conference, which is due to take place at the beginning of October. Following recent developments on
the ground, notably the huge influx of migrants during the summer, and at European political level, for example the
outcome of the Justice and Home Affairs Council on 14 September 2015, Mr Tusk has decided to bring forward this
discussion and have an extraordinary European Council meeting on migration.

Resumen The Italian-Latvian-Luxemburgish Trio Presidency of the Council marks the start of the 2014-2019 European
Parliamentary legislature. The first half of 2015 will be very challenging for Latvia, not least given that Latvia is holding
the presidency of the EU Council for the first time. A new parliament (Saeima) was elected on 4 October.
The Latvian Prime Minister, Ms. Laimdota Straujuma will present the priorities of the Presidency to the Parliament on
14 January 2015. Latvia will focus on three priorities during its Presidency: Facilitation of EU competitiveness as a key
to economic growth and jobs; Full exploitation of the digital potential of the European economy, and Reinforcing the
role of the European Union in the world. In addition, the Latvian Presidency wishes to ensure that the Council
contributes to the implementation of the European Council's five-year Strategic Agenda in the areas of protection of
citizens, an Energy Union with a forward-looking climate policy, and a Union of freedom, security and justice.
Aside from some major strategic items likely to feature from the Commission's 2015 Annual Work Programme
the bulk of the legislative work of the Latvian Council Presidency will consist essentially of resuming unfinished
business from the previous legislature. Currently around 30 legislative dossiers are under negotiation between the
Council and the Parliament with a view to reaching a first or a second reading agreement - half of those are likely to be
concluded under the Italian Presidency. This note presents the main political dossiers under the above-mentioned
priorities, and the related European legislative activity (under the ordinary legislative procedure) expected during the
Latvian EU Council Presidency in the first semester of 2015.

Resumen Due to its structural weaknesses Italy is one of the EU28 Member States worst hit by the crisis.The segmentation
across gender, age, and territory is very marked and job opportunities are unevenly distributed among the labour force,
with the marginalization of specific segments of the working population, in particular women and young people, and
especially those residing in Southern regions.
Since 2011 several labour market and social protection reforms have been introduced: in 2012 the Italian labour
market was reformed (Fornero reform) and the recently formed Renzi Government has announced a new Programme
for Labour Reforms (Jobs Act).
The Italian Presidency programme is described in the 2014 Work Programme “Participation of Italy at the European
Union”. The document sets out the priority dossiers and areas on which Italy plans to engage at the European level.

Resumen The rotational system of Council presidencies has been in existence for over 50 years. Although the Treaty of Lisbon
does not replace it, the Treaty’s modifications have reduced both the role and influence of the Member State holding
the six-month title. The conclusion of the Hungarian presidency in June 2011 marked the end of the first ""trio"" of
Member State presidencies. Whilst there are few definitive conclusions, these 18 months have seen the growing
influence of the new semi-permanent European Council President, through adopting a “top-down” approach to policy-
making, in contrast to the traditional, Council-led, ”bottom-up” approach.
The coordination role of the General Affairs Council, both between Council configurations and with the European
Council, remains a critical aspect of the rotating presidency’s tasks. However, with its status reduced post-Lisbon,
questions have been asked about its effectiveness.
The rotating presidency’s role in external relations is also greatly reduced with the appointment of a High
Representative of Foreign Affairs to chair the Foreign Affairs Council. However, the Belgian and Hungarian
presidencies, in Cancun and Libya respectively, have shown that the presidency can still play an important role.
