Abstract
TEIXEIRA, Nuno Severiano and HERMENEGILDO, Reinaldo Saraiva. The Portuguese Presidencies of European Union. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2015, n.48, pp.61-78. ISSN 1645-9199.
Portugal has held the presidency of the Council on three separate occasions: 1992, 2000, and 2007. These terms correspond to different phases in the European integration process and to different Portuguese positions with respect to European integration. This paper analyses the presidencies on three different levels: the definition of their political programmes and prio- rities, the organization of the diplomatic machinery and the management of various dossiers, and an assessment of the results obtained, from the perspective of Portuguese foreign policy and in terms of its impact on the European process.
Keywords : Council of the European Union; foreign policy; Portugal; Presidency.
