How has Europe handled the recent financial and economic crisis to date? What next steps should be taken by the Belgian Presidency to spur action by the EU-27 to control the economic and financial damage already done?

Which impact will the financial crisis in Greece have on the Euro Area countries, including in particular Belgium?

What other “problem cases” are there out there in the Euro-Zone for the Presidency to be on the lookout for?

What will be the role/function of the Belgian Presidency in the launch of the EU 2020 strategy?
