Prior to the regular TEPSA Pre-Presidency Conferences, TEPSA has a tradition of formulating recommendations to present to the incoming Council Presidency. In advance of the upcoming Slovenian Pre-Presidency Conference which takes place virtually on 17-18 June, TEPSA has released key recommendations to the incoming Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

These recommendations are formulated by experts from the TEPSA network, without necessarily representing the views of TEPSA or its Member Institutes. They will be presented to the incoming Slovenian Council Presidency on the occasion of the TEPSA Pre-Presidency Conference on 17-18 June 2021, held virtually from Ljubljana, Slovenia.
