    The access to EU Presidency is usually seen as an opportunity for a member state to put forward his own agenda. But in fact, we cannot understand the effects of EU presidency with such stato-centric, homogenizing approach, which naturalize state’s interests. The resources given by this status, and its constraints, change the relative position of Member State’s representatives, their options, expectations and strategies. The impact of this structural move is not the same for all representatives of a single Member State (here, the case of France in 2008). The differential holding of the Presidency role depends first on the balances of power, the dynamics and institutions of each field of EU public policy.
