The Presidency of the Council of the European Union is held in turn by each member state for six months. The Presidency organises the work at meetings, determines the agenda, chairs meetings and resolves difficulties and negotiates solutions. It also represents the EU under the Common Foreign and Security Policy and in meetings with other EU institutions including the European Parliament. At the end of each Presidency, heads of government meet for a summit or European Council.

The next UK Presidency will run from July to December 2005.
