The upcoming Council Presidency of Luxembourg will have to deal with a host of challenging topics, including economic governance issues, the renegotiation of the relationship between the EU and the UK, the on-going Greek crisis, the energy union, the digital single market and migration, especially in the context of the unfolding tragedy in the Mediterranean. At this Policy Briefing, Christian Braun, Permanent Representative of Luxembourg to the EU, outlined Luxembourg’s priorities for its 12th Presidency of the Council.

European Politics and Institutions

The European Politics and Institutions Programme covers the EU’s institutional architecture, governance and policymaking to ensure that it can move forward and respond to the challenges of the 21st century democratically and effectively. It also monitors and analyses political developments at the EU level and in the member states, discussing the key questions of how to involve European citizens in the discussions over the Union’s future and how to win their support for European integration. The Programme has a special focus on enlargement policy towards the Western Balkans, questions of EU institutional reform and illiberal trends in European democracies.
