NOTE

From:

To:

Subject:

General Secretariat of the Council

Delegations

Provisional agendas for Council meetings, during the first semester of 2015

(Latvian 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 2015 up to

30 June 2015. These have been drawn up by the Latvian Presidency and the External Action

Service as regards the Foreign Affairs Council (FAC) in January. The agendas for FAC meetings in

February-June will be circulated at a later stage.

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 Council agendas. Finally, the Latvian Presidency has included certain files

where a first reading agreement with the European Parliament will have been achieved as AOB

points with the indication of "Information from the Presidency".

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.
