Recommendations to Rotating Presidencies

TEPSA formulates recommendations to the Council Presidencies before they take office. TEPSA recommendations are formally presented to representatives and high-level officials of the incoming Presidency at the TEPSA Pre-Presidency Conferences. TEPSA recommendations are formulated by experts from the TEPSA network, without necessarily representing the views of TEPSA or its Member Institutes.

A new set of TEPSA Recommendations were presented to the incoming Cypriot Presidency of the Council of the EU during the Cypriot Pre-Presidency Conference on 30-31 October 2025. These recommendations form part of a long history of interaction between TEPSA and the Council Presidencies, starting with the first Pre-Presidency Conference in 1974. They have been circulated to key policy-makers in the Ministries, and were discussed in depth at the PPC. You can learn more about the conference below, and be sure to say tuned to TEPSA’s channels for more!
