    Seminar Abstract

    The public lecture of the Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs in the Federal Ministry for Europe, Integration and Foreign Affairs of Austria, Ambassador Johannes Peterlik will give an overview of the Austrian Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the 2nd semester of 2018.

    Austria has taken over the Council Presidency on 1 July in a demanding environment, due to geo-political developments as well as developments within the EU. Under the motto “A Europe that protects” the Austrian EU Presidency endeavours to live up to the European citizens’ expectations and to restore their confidence in the EU as a stabilizing and reliable global power.

    The three main priority areas are “security and the fight against illegal migration”, “securing prosperity and competitiveness through digitalization” and “stability in the neighbourhood – EU perspective for the Western Balkans/South Eastern Europe”. Further priorities in the area of foreign affairs are the reinforcement of the relations between EU and Asia, the promotion of effective multilateralism and a rules-based global order, as well as the further development of the Eastern Partnership. Important challenges for the Austrian EU Presidency are the closing of Brexit negotiations and the negotiations on the Multiannual Financial Framework for the European Union for the period 2021-2027.

    In accordance with its traditional role as bridge builder, the Austrian Presidency aims at acting as a neutral broker between diverging interests of EU member states and wishes to contribute to the unity within the European Union.
