Handover to Slovenia
On 28 June, the Portuguese presidency organised the "Handover – PT to SI" event, passing the baton to its Slovenian colleagues.

The Trio Partners (DE-PT-SI), Eurostat and the General Secretariat of the Council (GSC) took part in this hybrid event, as well as representatives from the Perm Rep and from the Presidency of the Council of Ministers. The current presidency presented an overview of its main achievements and the forthcoming SI PRES shared the plans for their term. Participants had the opportunity to discuss on lessons learnt during the past twelve months of the Trio presidencies.

A traditional cabbage-shaped bowl was delivered to the Slovenian colleagues, handing over the agri-statistical files.

We thank our Trio partners for their cooperation and support, and we wish the utmost success to our Slovenian colleagues!

Handover to Slovenia


Vso srečo! (Good luck!)
