title = {Die italienische Ratspräsidentschaft 2014: Ambitionen und Schwerpunkte unter schwierigen Bedingungen},
year = {2014},
note = {In the second half of 2014, the Italian government holds the
Presidency of the Council of the EU. It is facing a number of
challenges at the European and national levels: the Lisbon Treaty
altered the Council Presidency’s responsibilities; new
representatives for most high-level EU posts have to be appointed; and
the new Italian government only assumed office in February 2014. The
article discusses how the Italian Council Presidency can ensure
con­ti⁠nuity in this difficult transitional period and which
political priorities it should address. The latter include:
strengthening EU’s economic governance, stimulating growth, defining
long-term priorities for the European external policies, facilitating
cooperation in the fields of security and defence, reforming the
Union’s migration policy, and increasing the overall efficiency and
legitimacy of European policy-making.},
