Re: Presidency of the Council of the European Unio (none / 1)

You're right in principle, but you should notice that currently, when a country is in charge of the presidency of the European Council (like Slovenia), everybody (not only the media, but also the European institutions) uses the terms "presidency of the European Union".

Re: Presidency of the Council of the European Unio (none / 1)

Well, the way you phrase things influences the discourse. If we can get people to think about the "President of the Council" we will have scored an important point,
too.

I really cannot fathom the Commission allowing the Council to steal the limelight like this.
