Aconsequence of Poland assuming the Presidency of the European Union Council on July 1, 2011, was the necessity to identify the most crucial areas of the EU’s potential activities during the Presidency, develop a detailed agenda of various Council forums to be presided by Poland, and establish the Presidency priorities. It was not yet known at that stage how the provisions of the Lisbon Treaty would impact on the course of the Presidency. The establishment of the office of the President of the European Council and increased power of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security actually minimized the importance of the presidency exercised by a member state. From Poland’s point of view, another drawback was the disadvantageous composition of the 18-month Presidency, shared by Poland with Denmark and Cyprus. Denmark is not considered to set the tone and stimulate integration processes. Cyprus, alongside Poland, did not have any experience in carrying out such an extensive operation as the presidency, and it additionally did not hide the fact that Cypriot interests were exclusively focused on the Mediterranean and the conflict with Turkey. Under these circumstances, the priorities of the Polish Presidency had to follow from an analysis of numerous factors. The criteria taken into account in choosing the priorities resulted, among other things, from the following: – activities already commenced in the EU in various fields and the resulting priorities for the period of the Presidency (e.g. intended reforms and reviews of various policies, long-term initiatives with respect to EU legislation and other matters); – both internal and external challenges and needs facing the EU (such as the development of a common energy policy, the future of EU relations with third countries and international organizations, and enlargement policy); – assessment of the current political situation of the Union, internationally and internally (the role of events in North Africa and their impact on the presidency, the eurozone crisis, the common interests and goals of the ‘troika’, and the Polish parliamentary elections).
