European Foreign Affairs Review 2:143--148, 1996 © 1996 Kluwer Law International. Printed in the Netherlands. On 1 July last, Ireland assumed the six-month rotating Presidency of the European Union. We followed Italy and will be followed by the Netherlands on 1 January 1997. This is Ireland's fifth Presidency. We have, as a result, a considerable body of experience and expertise within the Irish administration to draw on. However, all Presidencies rely greatly on the expertise and advice of the Council General Secretariat. The Council Secretariat provides invaluable continuity and consistency to the changing personnel of the rotating Presidency and its advice and support is very valuable. One of the keys to a successful Presidency is to concentrate on the job at hand and to remain as flexible as possible. The ability to ensure good day to day management is necessary. In addition, an ability to take decisions swiftly and take into account ever changing circumstances is crucial. During the Irish Presidency there will be approximately forty Council meetings, two European Council meetings and a host of ancillary meetings both in and outside the EU. There will be a range of Presidency responsibilities in relation to the European Parliament
