The Antici Group of the Council of the European Union will meet on 7 July 2026 at 10:00 in the Europa building, Brussels, to prepare for the Coreper meetings scheduled for 8 and 10 July 2026. The meeting, held in a 1+0 format, will focus on agenda item 1: preparation for the Coreper meetings, and agenda item 2: any other business. No substantive decisions or exclusions are stated in the notice.
This preparatory session is a routine procedural step ahead of the Committee of Permanent Representatives (Coreper) meetings, where ambassadors of EU member states discuss and prepare Council decisions. The Antici Group, composed of senior diplomats, typically coordinates positions and identifies key issues for Coreper. The outcome of this meeting may influence the agenda and discussions at the subsequent Coreper sessions, but no specific policy areas or legislative files are highlighted in the provisional agenda.
