Chair of a meeting of the EU Politics and Governance Forum on the prospects and challenges of the Polish Presidency in the second half of 2011.

Two months before Warsaw takes over the helm of the Council Presidency, this Forum meeting discussed a number of key questions: How will Poland use and shape the new role of the Presidency under Lisbon? What is its agenda and the main obstacles it could face as incumbent? What fresh input can Poland bring into the present context of European affairs? And will it be able to meet the high expectations surrounding its performance?
 
These and other issues were discussed at the Forum meeting by a panel including Bruno Angelet, Advisor on European Affairs to the Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tomasz Husák, Second Secretary, ANTICI, Permanent Representation of the Republic of Poland to the EU, and Agnieszka Łada, Head of the European Programme at the Institute of Public Affairs in Warsaw and visiting fellow at the EPC between Febraury-April 2011, who presented her EPC Policy Brief on the topic.
