Summary/Abstract: This article is proposing a legal approach related to the controversial issue of the EU Presidency, both from the vision offered by the Maastricht Treaty, as well as from that of the Lisbon reform Treaty. Has EU a genuine supranational institution, called “Presidency” or rather has it many functional and limited presidencies of major European institutions, like the Presidency of EU Council, the President of European commission or, in the vision of Lisbon Treaty, the President of the European Council? Can we speak of a true supranational nature of this EU Presidency, even if it is in reality, a Presidency of an intergovernmental body like the EU Council or like the European Council? The article is trying to respond to this kind of dilemma.
