In the presence of the Danish Minister for European Affairs, Mr Nicolai Wammen, Cllr Brian Meaney wholeheartedly welcomed the Danish Presidency priorities: A responsible Europe; A dynamic Europe; A green Europe; A safe Europe as clear and coherent priorities but he said that the European Union and its institutions are becoming disconnected with its citizens and there was a need to rebuild trust. It is only when the trust is re-built that we can then achieve the aims set out by the Presidency.
