From 1st July to 31st December 2010, it is Belgium's turn to take over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU). This is a real challenge, especially as we now need to take into account the many changes set in place by the Lisbon Treaty since it came into force on 1st December 2009.
As President of the Council of the EU, Belgium's role mainly consists of organising and managing the work of each Council configuration through its competent ministers. As part of this presidency, the citizen is not forgotten! A real festive cultural program and we expect the next six months. Judge for yourself!
