Interview with Philippe de Schoutheete (Brussels, 4 March 2010) — Excerpt: the Luxembourg Compromise in practice

Video
In this interview excerpt, Philippe de Schoutheete, Honorary Belgian Ambassador and Belgian Permanent Representative to the European Union from 1987 to 1997, explains the effects of the Luxembourg Compromise on Council practice, and particularly describes how for several years, although it was rarely invoked, the Council virtually never voted by a qualified majority. As time has gone on, this compromise has been somewhat forgotten, but it remains general practice to seek a consensus where possible.
