Posted 01.07.2010

On this very first day of the Belgian Presidency of the EU, Grayling is pleased to present you with its Update on the main issues which will be making the headlines over the next six months. You can view the update here and in the attached document.

Belgium, often seen as the EU “in miniature”, is going through its own existential crisis at the current time and has still not been able to reach an agreement to form the new Federal Government following elections earlier this month.

• How will Belgium manage its responsibilities as head of the EU for the next six months?
• How will it work with President Van Rompuy and Baroness Ashton?
• How will it ensure continuity with the previous Spanish Presidency whilst adapting to new challenges?
• And just who are the main players in the caretaker government who will be leading the Belgian charge?

This Grayling Update discusses these issues and many more and also provides an insider guide to the country as a whole.
