Abstract:

On 1 July 2007, Portugal took over the EU's rotating presidency from Germany. Angela Merkel's six months at the helm will be a tough act to follow. Merkel had continued her winning streak by making EU leaders sign up to joint energy targets in March, by persuading George Bush – at least in principle – to use the UN to negotiate a post-Kyoto climate regime, and by getting her 26 EU colleagues to agree the outlines of a treaty to replace the failed EU constitution.
