EU Presidencies until 2020
EU member states met on 13 December 2004 and reached political agreement on provisions concerning the exercise of the Council Presidency including the order of Presidencies from 2007 to 2020.
The future presidencies are to be run in groups of three, as foreseen by the new European Constitution, with each group generally containing a large and a small member state and at least one new member state.
The EU presidencies co-ordinate the work of the Union.
