Programme of the Czech presidency
The Czech Republic has published its programme for the next six months. The programme describes in detail the priorities and main directions of the Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the period from 1 July till 31 December 2022.
The programme of the Czech Presidency of the EU Council has two parts:
- Priorities of the Czech Presidency,
- Programme of the Czech Presidency under the EU Council formations.
The first part of the programme defines five priority areas that have arisen from a discussion at the highest political level.
- Managing the refugee crisis and post-war reconstruction of Ukraine
- Energy security
- Strengthening European defence capabilities and cybersecurity
- Strategic resilience of the European economy
- Resilience of democratic institutions
This part reflects the long-term positions and Czech priorities promoted by the Czech Republic in the EU, but it also responds to current geopolitical and economic challenges associated mainly with the Russian aggression against Ukraine.
Next to the political priorities above, the second part of the national programme contains the priority sectoral agendas, i.e. the legislative and non-legislative proposals that the Czech Republic will focus on under the relevant Council formations.
The document as a whole is based on the content preparations to date, on EU strategic documents such as the Commission’s work programme for 2022 and the joint programme of the presidency trio. It reflects both the domestic political situation and international policy issues.
