Heja Sverige

As Sweden takes up the EU hotseat today, we've published a guide to the Swedish EU Presidency, looking at the various nettles it will have to grasp - from the negotiations on the Lisbon Treaty and its impact on the EU's institutional setup (if it gets passed), to the slew of financial regulations and the efforts to reach agreement in time for the Copenhagen summit on climate change at the end of the year.

If the EU bullies leaders get their way, and Ireland votes 'yes' to Lisbon, this will be the last time a small EU country like Sweden will get to set the agenda in Europe for a very, very long time.
