Public Dialogue: Programme and Priorities of the Danish Presidency of the Council of the EU

 On January 1, Denmark assumed the Presidency of the Council of the European Union for the seventh time since the country's accession to the EU in 1973.  The Danish Presidency is the second of the "trio presidency" that also includes Poland and Cyprus. The three successive presidencies work together over an 18 period to accomplish a common agenda with the current president continuing the work of the previous "lead-president" after the end of its term.  

 

Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt's recently stated that "Now more than ever, we need to work together in the EU. We must dare to make difficult decisions. We must restore confidence, security and optimism. We must, therefore, work towards a responsible Europe." 

The four main priorities of the Danish Presidency will be to contribute to:

  • A responsible Europe
  • A dynamic Europe
  • A green Europe
  • A safe Europe
