Aníbal Villalba Fernández Until the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the rotating Presidency of the Council was held by each Member State for a period of six months. Under the Treaty of Lisbon this arrangement has changed: although the rotation of the Council Presidencies held by the Member States is maintained, this does not include CFSP, an area in which most of the functions attributed up until now to the Presidency have passed to the HR, who shall chair the Foreign Affairs Council, contribute through his proposals towards the preparation of the CFSP and ensure the implementation of the decisions adopted by the European Council and the Council (article 27.1 TEU - Lisbon). The GAERC has been divided into two different configurations: • The General Affairs Council (CAG), which is chaired by a representative of the Member State that exercises the rotating Presidency and is responsible for ensuring consistency in the work of the different Council configurations, and preparing and ensuring the follow-up to meetings of the European Council in liaison with the President of the European Council and the Commission (article 16.6 of the TEU - Lisbon). • The Foreign Affairs Council (FAC), which is now chaired by the HR, and shall elaborate the Union’s external action on the basis of strategic guidelines laid down by the European Council and ensure that the Union’s action is consistent (article 16.6 of the TEU - Lisbon). For the purpose of the organisation of the Spanish Presidency of the EU, it should be stressed that the Declaration of the European Council of December 2008 on transitional measures concerning the Presidency of the European Council and the Presidency of the Foreign Affairs Council states that in the event that the Treaty of Lisbon enters into force at a date when a six-monthly Presidency of the Council has already begun, the European Council agrees that, as a matter of transition, in order to take into account the preparatory work and ensure harmonious continuity of work: • The competent authorities of the Member State holding the six−monthly Presidency of the Council at that time will continue to chair all the remaining meetings of the Council and the European Council, as well as third country meetings, until the end of the period of office; • The following−six monthly Presidency of the Council will be in charge of taking the necessary specific measures relating to the organisational and material aspects of the Presidency of the European Council and of the Foreign Affairs Council during its period of office, — 153 —
The Treaty of Lisbon and the common security and defence policy in conformity with the Treaty. On these issues, close consultation will be established between this Presidency and the President (elect) of the European Council and the HR (3). It should also be pointed out that Article 21. 3 TEU - Lisbon states that «the Union shall ensure consistency between the different areas of its external action and between these and its other policies. The Council and the Commission, assisted by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, shall ensure that consistency and shall cooperate to that effect». The trio of Presidencies This is enshrined in article 2.4 of the Rules of Procedure, which establishes that «every 18 months, the three Presidencies due to hold office shall prepare, in close cooperation with the Commission, and after appropriate consultations, a draft programme of Council activities for that period. The three Presidencies shall jointly submit the draft programme no later than one month before the relevant period, with a view to its endorsement by the General Affairs and External Relations Council». Article 1 of the Draft Decision of the European Council annexed to the Treaty of Lisbon states that the Presidency of the Council, with the exception of the Foreign Affairs configuration, shall be held by pre-established groups of three Member States for a period of 18 months. The groups shall be made up on a basis of equal rotation among the Member States, taking into account their diversity and geographical balance within the Union. Each member of the group shall in turn chair for a six-month period all configurations of the Council, with the exception of the Foreign Affairs configuration. The other members of the group shall assist the Chair in all its responsibilities on the basis of a common programme. The current trio of Presidencies that begun on 1 January <strong>2010</strong> is formed by Spain, Belgium and Hungary. The European Parliament The European Parliament (EP) is consulted and regularly informed by the President and the Commission of the development of the CFSP. The EP holds an annual debate on the progress made in the implementation (3) Brussels European Council, 11-12 December 2008.
