The key advantages of the rotating Presidency should be preserved and the Government is open to discussion as to the means of achieving this objective. We are particularly interested in seeing further detailed work on the concept of a team Presidency, which envisages a number of states undertaking Presidency tasks which still rotate over time. If three member states held the Presidency over 18 months, or five over two and a half years, each would hold the office for six months while taking advantage of far greater supports, particularly in the case of smaller or newer members.
