Poland took presidency of the EU Council

Poland took over the six-month rotating presidency of the EU Council at the turn of the year. Representatives of the country's government will therefore chair numerous ministerial meetings until the end of June and mediate in the event of differences of opinion between the EU states. The main aim is to ensure that EU legislative procedures run as smoothly as possible.

The hope in Brussels is that the Polish government will not instrumentalize its prominent role for its own purposes as the Hungarian government has done in the past six months. Last summer, for example, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban traveled to Moscow and Beijing without prior consultation shortly after his country took over the presidency of the Council, causing considerable displeasure in most other EU states.
