2022: The French Presidency 

A trio for long-term objectives.

Each Presidency works closely with the two other member states: the one that preceded it and the one that will follow it. This partnership is known as the ‘trio Presidency’. Czech Republic and Sweden will follow the French presidency, together they form the current trio.

The trio determines long-term objectives and draws up a programme containing the major issues the Council will tackle over the next 18 months. To this end, each of the three member states draws up its own six-month programme. The main purpose of the trios lies in ensuring that there is a smoother transition between presidencies and that the  continuity and effectiveness of the Council's work is enhanced over the long term.

The presidency has two main tasks:

  1. planning and chairing meetings in the Council and its preparatory bodies (with the exception of the Foreign Affairs Council); 
  2. representing the Council, mediating and brokering compromises between the EU member states and between EU institutions such as the Council, European Commission and European Parliament.

In 2017, during his speech at the Sorbonne, the French President of the Republic invited the EU to a sovereignty agenda which comes out with the opening of the PFUE and its three key principles 

  • Strength
  • Relaunch
  • European belonging

France’s priorities and orientations for the PFUE are reflected in the strategic challenges for Digital Health in Europe. 
The official Presidency event program includes 22 events organized by the French and EU digital health ecosystem with 2 institutional events/ high-level conferences (Ministerial Conference “Citizenship, Ethics and Health Data” and the eHealth Network meeting)
