IOS EU event on the Spanish EU Presidency
IOS EU event on the Spanish EU Presidency
On 27 June 2023, the EU platform held an event on the upcoming Spanish presidency of the EU. The event was the fourth in a series on the rotating presidencies of the Council of the European Union (previous events covered the presidencies of France, Czechia, and Sweden).
Platform coordinator Ton van den Brink discussed the legal aspects of the EU rotating Presidency and introduced the Spanish priorities for its EU presidency. Subsequently, Dr. Stefanie Massink enlightened us about the history of Spanish EU membership and Dutch-Spanish relations. The event ended with a lively discussion and Spanish-themed reception. In addition to UU staff, external visitors and students from several study programs were present.
