For the first time since its accession in 2004, Estonia, the smallest of the Baltic countries, picked up the baton of the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU from July to December 2017. Driven by the motto “Unity through balance”, the Estonian presidency focused on key areas such as the development of the Single Market and the Digital Single Market, energy and neighbourhood and foreign policy with the aim to achieve openness in economy and society while preserving the safety and security of the Union.

What are the highlights and the takeaways of the outgoing presidency? Her Excellency Kaja Tael, Estonian Ambassador to the EU, will give a keynote speech on its focal themes and results, followed by a lively discussion with the audience. Maurice Fermont, President of the LSE Alumni Association Belgium, will moderate the event.

When filling out the registration form for the event, you are highly encouraged to mention any pertinent topics you would like to see covered during our discussion with the ambassador.
