  • EU 2009

    On 1 July 2011, Poland assumed the presidency of the EU, taking over from Hungary. For six months, the main task of the country which holds the presidency is to organise and manage the work of the Council of the European Union where the member states are represented.
    Poland and the next two successive Council presidency countries known as the Presidency Trio, have drawn up a work programme for the 18-month period (January 2010 to July 2011) during which they will hold the Presidency in succession, according to the new regulations which apply in Europe.
    The current (2011–2012) trio consists of Poland, Belgium (who will take over in January 2012) and Cyprus (who will take over in July 2012).
