troika (EU) |

Until the changes introduced into European Union external representation in 1999, the troika consisted of the representatives of the state currently holding the presidency of the Council of Ministers, together with those of the ones immediately preceding and succeeding it. Since the rotating presidency is held by a member state for only six months at a time, these three parties worked in diplomatic harness to preserve continuity of experience and enhance the political weight of EU external representation. The preceding state provided advice to the current holder, while the one which was next in line learned by apprenticeship. The European Commission was also permanently associated with the troika, thereby providing further continuity. Following the appointment in mid-1999 of the first High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy, the troika was abolished. |
