Memorandum to the Belgian Presidency of the EU

Following the Spanish Presidency, Belgium takes over the rotating 6-months Presidency of the EU Council from 1 January 2024 a progressively challenging political landscape. With this, Belgium will not only play a pivotal role in overseeing the upcoming EU elections in June, it will also be taking on the crucial responsibility of finalising the Green Deal before Europe transitions into elections mode. Time is ticking for Europe’s green agenda, as much will need to be done before the March cut-off. Every six months the EEB publishes an assessment of the rotating Presidencies. This is the complete Memorandum to the incoming Belgian Presidency.
