This article analyses the response by the General Secretariat of the Council to two key innovations which generated both opportunities as well as risks in terms of its institutional role: the establishment of full-time, fixed-term presidents for the European Council and the Foreign Affairs Council. The paper first examines the GSC’s institutional preferences with regard to its role in supporting these new two players and successively identifies strategies and resources that were used.

Cet article analyse la réponse du Secrétariat général du Conseil à deux innovations clés qui ont créé à la fois des opportunités et des risques quant à son rôle institutionnel : la mise en place de présidents à temps plein et à durée déterminée pour le Conseil européen et le Conseil des affaires étrangères. L'article examine d'abord les préférences institutionnelles du SGC quant à son rôle d'accompagnement de ces deux nouveaux acteurs et identifie successivement les stratégies et les ressources qui ont été mobilisées. La recherche fait valoir que dans les deux cas, le SGC a réussi à concrétiser ses préférences, même si dans le cas du HR/VP, cela a été plus difficile.Cairn free access
