Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union
In June 2024, Belgium's six-month presidency ends. This brought in particular the intensification of discussions on the future of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism and the Emergency Response Coordination Centre as part of it. The priority of the Belgian Presidency was the architecture of risk management in the European Union. This includes striving for greater intersectoral cooperation, developing a society-wide approach and exploring deeper cooperation of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism with the private sector and other civil protection actors. A presidential seminar on this topic was held in Antwerp at the beginning of January with the participation of more than 80 delegates from most of the member and participating states of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism. Other important events during the Belgian Presidency were the two meetings of the Directors General of Civil Protection held in Brussels in February and April this year.
