Details of what the budget for the European Council Presidency covers

The request was partially successful.

Dear Council of the European Union,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:

Each European Presidency has costs covered which are part of the essential business of Presidency.

I would like to know what events and activities this budget covers and what it does not cover and therefore any documents which outline the rules in place as to what a Presidency of the European Union is expected to pay for themselves (via the member state concerned).

I would also like to see the overall costs of the Croatian, German and (to date) Portuguese Presidency and a break down on what was paid for from the EU budget and what was paid by the member state.

Yours faithfully,

Suzy Sumner

Postmaster Consilium, Council of the European Union
