Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt addressed the European Parliament on Tuesday 19th February and he expressed concerns that with a new President of the European Council (more from EUObserver) there will be no explicit EU tasks for the Prime Ministers of incoming Presidency countries. He has hence floated the idea of some sort of co-chairing arrangements. If someone like Reinfeldt is expressing such concerns, would that rule out a strong candidate for the European Council chair role? Plus if there was only One President of the EU, I’m sure he or she would be more accommodating of Member States’ requests in this regard than a European Council President wanting to develop a powerful position.
