Palabra clave Política/planificación Institución Resumen The office of the European Union (EU) Presidency has attracted little research interest despite the fact that its importance has grown markedly over the years. This paper focuses on the co-ordination function the Presidency can play in the environmental field. It uses the British and German Presidencies of 1992 and 1994 respectively as case studies. It concludes that the integration of strict environmental requirements into all common policies is often still hampered by the decision-making framework.
