The argument in favour is that it would be more efficient and provide greater continuity for the agenda of the European Union. Those of us who disagree argue that we can create efficiency and continuity by having the proper structures in place. I favour a team presidency. If it was introduced next year, though it will not, one would have Italy, Ireland and the current holder of the Presidency, Greece, as a team presidency. Each country could chair individual Council meetings for a year or two. There are ways to create the efficiency and continuity required without undercutting the rotational idea of the Presidency, which is important for smaller states.
