Talk:Presidency of the Council of the European Union

message: Sjorford wrote: The post as President of the Council of the European Union is for each separate meeting held by the responsible government minister of the member state holding the Presidency, usually the foreign minister. I've removed the clause "usually the foreign minister" since this isn't true - even for the UK. Each Council meeting is chaired by the presiding member state's minister from the appropriate policy area, So, for instance, if Ireland holds the presidency, then the Environment Council is chaired by the Irish environment minister, the Home Affairs Council by the Irish home affairs minister, and so on. And, of course, the European Council (meeting of heads of government) is chaired by the Irish prime minister. Hope this clarifies things. Toby W 07:40, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: My basic question is WHY the locator map of France in the infobox. It does not add anything (the geographical location of France is of no relevancy to its presidency) in fact I think it distracts from the message of the presidency that it is rotatiing among members. I removed it. Arnoutf (talk) 08:28, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I really wonder if http://www.eutrio.es/ is the real website for Spain's EC Presidency, as it is (at least now) a web page about tourism in Spain. http://www.eutrio.be/ is certainly the website about their EC Presidency, but I'm asking anyone who can to look for the real website for Spain's EC Presidency.
Note: EC = European Council, I think there's a more widely-used meaning for that letters but this is the one I've used now

message: It seems like the official webpage for the Romanian Presidency of the Council of the European Union has been published in three languages: English, French and Romanian. According to the official guidelines of the European Commission, the working/procedural languages for the Commission however have to be English, French and German. Is there any explanation why German is omitted as language by the Presidency? Not to be overly accurate here but especially the European Council otherwise appears to be very keen on sticking to rules and statues. (Note: the previous Presidencies by Estonia, Bulgaria and Austria all correctly used English, French and German next to the host countries' languages.) --2A02:C7D:51E3:A900:D9FC:E7FC:D07:E24D (talk) 09:23, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: The order is fixed in the "Council Decision laying down measures for the implementation of the European Council Decision on the exercise of the Presidency of the Council, and on the chairmanship of preparatory bodies of the Council", which was most recently amended on 13 December 2021 (consolidated version: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:02009D0908-20211213). It only mentions dates until December 2030. I propose deleting all presidencies after that date since they are mere speculation. 170.255.241.25 (talk) 13:48, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
