lead ministry

 
     
  The ministry with formal responsibility for a negotiation. In a negotiation where one ministry is allowed to ‘take the lead’, others are naturally involved; formal responsibility does not, therefore, imply exclusive influence. It is usually the line ministries (e.g. transport, agriculture) that are described as the lead ministries in their particular sectors within the EU, though obviously there is nothing to prevent a ministry of foreign affairs from being the lead ministry in a particular negotiation.
