This is the English bit from the Treaty of Lisbon, which I ended up quoting. Perhaps the quotes should be rearranged to be more direct? I.e. Under the terms of the treaty, the President of the European Council: "shall ensure the preparation and continuity of the work of the European Council[...]" and "shall chair it and drive forward its work."
6. The President of the European Council:(a)shall chair it and drive forward its work;(b)shall ensure the preparation and continuity of the work of the European Council in cooperation with the President of the Commission, and on the basis of the work of the General Affairs Council;(c)shall endeavour to facilitate cohesion and consensus within the European Council;(d)shall present a report to the European Parliament after each of the meetings of the European Council. The President of the European Council shall, at his level and in that capacity, ensure the external representation of the Union on issues concerning its common foreign and security policy, without prejudice to the powers o The President of the European Council shall not hold a national office.'.
