The principle of rotation in other formations of the Council, the so-called Council of Ministers sector meetings, is set to be inscribed in the new constitutional treaty. This is important as the idea of rotation in the Council of Ministers is fundamental in illustrating equality to citizens in a clear and recognisable way. I argued strongly in favour of this, as did a majority of current and future member states. I firmly believe the benefits of rotation far outweigh the problems and I am pleased that these arguments have been taken on board. We will have to see the final text before we can proclaim that we have won on this issue.
