Portuguese presidency
“We need a new treaty and we need it fast”*
In July, Portugal will take over the presidency of the European Union,
currently held by Germany.
The four main topics that will be addressed during the presidency are
in line with the programmes of the German and the (upcoming) Slovenian
presidency:
- A new Treaty
- Goals set in the Lisbon agenda
- Security, freedom and justice
- External relations
On Friday 15/6 the Eurofedop trade council Health has already discussed
the health priorities of the Portuguese presidency, which will focus
on health and migration.
While the German presidency focused on the relation with the eastern
neighbours, Portugal focuses on the relations with the Mediterranean
countries.
However, the main topic will probably be the new treaty for Europe, as
an alternative for the ‘Constitution’ for Europe which was
rejected by France and the Netherlands in 2005.
The Portuguese presidency will also try to reach a political agreement
with regard to the liberalisation of postal services, on which the European
Parliament will vote in July.
