Denmark takes over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union on 1 January and today the Danish Minister of European Affairs, Nicolai Wammen, formally launched the webpage of the Presidency: eu2012.dk

From 1 January and for six months onwards, Denmark will lead the work of the EU Member States in the Council. Denmark will lead weekly council meetings in Brussels and Luxembourg, thousands of meetings of European officials and a number of conferences and seminars in Denmark. In addition eight informal ministerial meetings will be held in Denmark.

The webpage is a central tool for the Presidency for disseminating information. Here you can find all you wanted to know about the work of the Presidency, its activities and results in various policy areas.

”A great website is crucial for a successful Presidency. It should be a useful toolbox and a site that informs about the Presidency and Denmark. It is designed to be user-friendly and have a light and Danish feel to it. At the same time it includes a lot of information, which enables us to open up the work of the EU and the Presidency for Danes and Denmark for Europeans”, says Minister Wammen.

Eu2012.dk has news and information on the Presidency, on the EU and on Denmark. An extensive calendar gives an overview over meetings, events and cultural activities. Accreditation for meetings is through the website, where you can also find all relevant information and documents related to the meetings.

News and photos give an overview of the newest events and users can subscribe to a newsletter on the Presidency, create their own RSS-newsfeed and follow the Presidency on both twitter and on the mobile website . You will also find an extensive list of the Presidency’s spokespersons and an overview of the Danish Government.
