Similar principles of equality must be respected in the Council of Ministers. We all accept that it must be organised in a manner that ensures its coherence and effectiveness.

There is much merit in seeking further practical enhancement of the continuity and effectiveness of the Presidency along the lines of reforms agreed at the Seville Council in June 2002. The reforms agreed include annual and multi-annual programming and closer co-operation between presidencies.
