General Secretariat of the Council

Delegations

Provisional agendas for Council meetings, during the first semester of 2017

(the Maltese Presidency)

In accordance with Article 2(7) of the Council's Rules of Procedure, delegations will find attached

the indicative provisional agendas

for Council meetings for the period from 1 January 2017 up to

30 June 2017. These have been drawn up by the Maltese Presidency and the External Action

Service as regards the Foreign Affairs Council (FAC).

In accordance with Article 3(6) of the Council's Rules of Procedure, items for which approval by

the Council is possible without discussion are entered as "A" items. As a general rule, "A" items do

not appear on the attached provisional Council agendas.

In accordance with Annex V, para 6 of the Council's Rules of Procedure, no item is placed on the

Council agenda simply for presentation by the Commission or by a Council member, except where

a debate on new major initiatives is planned.

In accordance with the Treaty of Lisbon, on all agendas for the various Council

configurations a distinction has to be made between legislative and non-legislative acts, in

the case of both "A" items and "B" items.
