Slovenia, Germany, Portugal Discuss EU Presidency

Officials from Slovenia, Germany and Portugal, the countries scheduled to chair the EU in 2007 and the first half of 2008, met in Berlin on Wednesday to discuss cooperation on the procedural level, Katja Rejec Longar of the Government Office for European Affairs has said.

As Rejec Longar explained for STA after the meeting, the three countries agreed on personnel referral, training of officials and exchange of information during their respective presidencies.
In line with the initial plans, that is if the European Constitution had been ratified as expected, Slovenia, Germany and Portugal would have presided the EU Council from the beginning of 2007 to the middle of 2008 together.
However, due to the complications regarding the ratification of the Constitution in some EU states, the current form of six-month rotating presidency remains in force.
