Document Summary
The rotating presidency was a powerful symbol of equality among member states. The president sets an agenda: specific countries have a huge impact on what eu policies, programs and activities are being seen. Should a small state hold the council presidency, this encourages increased literacy in. Eu operations, so the presidency serves as a political education tool for regular citizens. The 6 month presidency incentivizes presidents to think carefully about what they want to get through in their agenda, discouraging over saturation and potentially wasting less resources. Small countries have difficulty managing a successful presidency (presidency"s prominence in security and defense policy can be burdensome and problematic) If the country holding the presidency of the council of ministers is experiencing domestic issues, then the president"s personal affiliation and attention towards these issues may cause inefficiency and a lack of relevant agenda setting within the council.
