Paneuropa España is organising a Zoom webinar this evening at 7 p.m. with the Portuguese ambassador, Joao Mira-Gomes, who will speak on The challenges of Portugal’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
In the first half of 2021, Portugal will assume the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union, joining Germany and Slovenia in the Trio Presidency for the period from 1 July 2020 to 31 December 2021.
