The frontrunners for the next European Commission – POLITICO

Will the Poles secure a newly created defense portfolio to square up to their arch-rivals the Russians?

BRUSSELS
BY LEONIE KIJEWSKI
IT WAS AN UNUSUAL APOLOGY: from the office of the president of the European Council to a sanctioned Russian oligarch.

In Brussels, the Netherlands is known for its assertive positioning in EU legislation in a wide range of policy files. Despite its relatively small size, the Netherlands has a tendency to get involved, even on files that are not at the core of the Dutch domestic debate.

Despite commendable progress, many of these files still need a lot of work before being passed into law. Look at the files we’ve laid out below, then look back at
Café Luxembourg und die Kunst des Restaurants, die sich nie ändert
Es gibt eine Szene aus „When Harry Met Sally“, die im Café Luxembourg, dem Restaurant der Upper West Side, spielt, obwohl sie kaum so ikonisch ist wie die, in der Meg Ryan einen Orgasmus im Katz’s Deli vortäuscht.

But as Sweden takes over the rotating Council presidency with a year-and-a-half left until the next European election, that’s not the case.

Then, just as the man was about to step into a rental car and carry out his mission — which prosecutors say was
A wonk’s guide to the Czech EU presidency policy agenda – POLITICO
This article is part of POLITICO’s Guide to the Czech EU Presidency special report.
The Czech presidency needs to carry the EU through an energy crisis, galloping inflation and a war in Ukraine — all on a shoestring budget.

In the midst of a war and a gathering economic crisis, the small Central European country will be tasked with making sure the EU secures a lasting supply of energy while not letting go of its
