More: | The June General Affairs and External Relations Council will meet in the so-called "jumbo format", with EU defence and development ministers meeting alongside the EU foreign ministers. The General Affairs Council, chaired by Slovenian Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel, will focus on the preparations for the June meeting of the European Council. It will briefly examine an annotated draft agenda prepared by the presidency, where the main subjects are the review of the ratification process and progress made in preparatory work on the Lisbon Treaty; freedom, security and justice; policy implications of high food prices; and economic, social and environmental issues, as well as the Western Balkans and other aspects of EU external relations. The annotated draft agenda will serve as the basis for draft European Council conclusions to be prepared by the presidency. Video: |
