CONFERINȚA PRIVIND VIITORUL EUROPEI – UN POTENȚIAL TRIGGER AL REAȘEZĂRII PREȘEDINȚIEI CONSILIULUI UE ÎN ARHITECTURA COMUNITARĂ
CONFERENCE ON THE FUTURE OF EUROPE - A POTENTIAL TRIGGER FOR THE READJUSTMENT OF THE EU COUNCIL PRESIDENCY IN THE EUROPEAN ARCHITECTURE

Summary/Abstract: It is almost certain that one of the main institutions targeted during the reflection process on EU reform (which will be launched by the Conference on the Future of Europe) will be the EU Council, amid concerns on the inefficiency of the European decision-making process. Future debates risk bringing in the spotlight sensitive issues regarding the decision-making dynamics of the EU, already unbalanced by Brexit. Once the “Pandora’s box” is opened, talks will inevitably focus on the shortcomings of the EU Council presidency. Consequently, there is a risk that the status of the EU Presidency of the Council will be jeopardized either by the disappearance of this rotating system of administrative “burden-sharing” meant for organizing the Council meetings or by further diluting the prerogatives of this office –there are already strong signals in this regard.
