lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the rotating Presidency of the Council since the Lisbon Treaty is not quite the position that it once was. Presiding over the European Councils passed to the president of that body, and presiding over the Foreign Affairs Council has passed to the Vice-President/High Representative. Furthermore, presiding over finance policy has moved out of the hands of the rotating Presidency. It does still retain some function, but it seems that Member States are such unpredictable creatures that they cannot be left to run EU institutions without being guided by a professional. It will be interesting to see how long presiding over the remaining functions will be left in the hands of the Member State holding the rotating Presidency. The function of the Presidency, of course, is to preside over decisions that were initiated elsewhere and to grant Member State authority to the legislative process, rather than to exercise power, which is exercised by permanent bureaucrats."@en1
