The paper presents evaluation of the Finnish presidency in the EU in the period of June to December 2006. The assessment is carried out on the basis of the demand – supply model developed by Schout A. and Vanhoonacker S. in “Evaluating Presidencies of the Council of the EU: Revisiting Nice”. The author concludes that the Finnish presidency in the EU, though lacking grand political breakthroughs, was successful on most priorities. The Presidency competency in bridging the demand and supply played a major role for achieving the outcomes.
