Presidency trio

Austria held the presidency of the Council of the European Union during the second half of 2018.[1] The presidency was the last of three presidencies making up a presidency trio, which began with the presidency of Estonia, followed by that of Bulgaria.[2] It was the third time Austria had held the presidency.[3][4] The Austria presidency aimed to address three major areas: improvement through digitalization, illegal immigration, and European stabilization.[1] The motto that was chosen for the presidency was "A Europe that protects".[5][4] The presidency was also involved in negotiations dealing with the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union (Brexit).[6]
