While attending the General Affairs Council on September 13th, Olivier Chastel, Secretary of State for European Affairs, met with his Spanish and Hungarian counterparts to discuss the progress made on the various team Presidency programme dossiers.
"Today, of course, the General Affairs Council will be preparing for the European Council of Thursday and this is the first Council on which the Foreign Affairs Ministers will be assisting the Prime Ministers and the Presidencies of the governments to discuss how we can make it possible that the foreign policy of the European Union becomes more effective."
During the Belgian EU presidency, several high-level events will be organized by the partners of the Joint-Interministerial Conference on Environment and Health (JICEH). This very diverse programmeof environment and health issues mirrors the growing social and political interest in the challenges and opportunities around linking more closely health and environment and their interactions, which are increasingly being recognized. At least 6 key conferences and not less than twelve other events will be organized during the following months.
