    SWEDEN ASSUMED ROTATING EU PRESIDENCY

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Sweden on Wednesday assumed the six-month rotating
    presidency of the European Union, promising to combat climate change
    as well as the rising joblessness in the wake of the global economic
    crisis.

    "The financial crisis and climate change, with the preparation of the
    Copenhagen conference, will be our main priorities," Prime Minister
    Fredrik Reinfeldt said.

    Stockholm wants to get the EU to sign up to a new UN global warming
    treaty to be negotiated in Copenhagen in December and which would
    replace the Kyoto Protocol on cutting carbon emissions that expires
    in 2012.

    "We need a global answer to this global problem," Reinfeldt said.

    European Partnership, relations with Georgia and Ukraine and EU
    reorganization as well as Ireland's new referendum on Lisbon treaty
    will also be in focus.
