Passing the Baton: an Overview of the Maltese Presidency
12 July 2017, 19:00
For the first time since its accession in 2004, Malta - the smallest nation among the 28 Member States - assumed the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU at a time when the EU faces some of the toughest challenges in its 60-year history. In this light, the priorities of the Maltese presidency were driven by the objective to restore trust in the EU and reflect on the future of the European project, as well as to address pertinent issues relating to migration, security, economy and Brexit.
What should we remember from the outgoing presidency? Her Excellency Marlene Bonnici, Maltese Ambassador to the EU, will host us at the premises of the Permanent Representation and she will give us an overview of the key areas on which the presidency focused and its achievements. The keynote speech will be followed by a panel discussion, comprised by Maltese experts on different policy areas.
The event, which is part of the LSE AAB EU Presidency Series, will be moderated by Maurice Fermont, President of the LSE Alumni Association Belgium. There will be a reception after the discussion.
Date and time: Wednesday 12 July from 19.00 to 21.00.
