The article deals with the legal nature, models and competences of rotating Council Presidency and, particularly, its parliamentary dimension. With the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the model of Presidency was changed, assuming a hybrid form. On the whole, it still provides a form of political leadership of the European Union. Every six moths Presidency rotates between member states which are grouped, in the so-called trio, for the period of 18 months. Presidency has a functional character. It has been regulated in detail in the provisions of both primary and secondary EU law in the rules of procedure of the European Council, the Council and European Parliament, as well as protocols appended to EU establishing Treaties. Its profile is also determined by practice. Particulars concerning the exercise of Presidency are regulated by domestic law, e.g. in Poland the Act of 8 October 2010 (the so-called Cooperation Act). Chapter 6 of that Act specifies the principles of cooperation between both chambers of parliament with government in relation to participation of representatives of the Presidency's Council of Ministers in Council's formations. The parliamentary dimension of Presidency, mentioned in the title of this article, includes above all cooperation between parliament and government, as well as interparliamentary cooperation, particularly within the trio. The subject of parliamentary meetings is decided by parliament of the state holding the Presidency, taking into consideration the priorities already adopted by the government. Parliamentary presidency performs several functions, both at domestic and external (Union) level. By this means parliament exercises democratic oversight and guarantees legitimacy of government actions within the EU.
