#### Historical context

The Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2021 is the fourth in the country's history (after 1992, 2000, 2007), lasting from 1 January to 30 June 2021. The motto of the presidency is "Time to act: for a fair, green and digital recovery" (Hora de Agir: por uma recuperação justa, verde e digital). Prime Minister - António Costa (Socialist). The Presidency took place in the extremely challenging circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to special attention: the adoption of NextGenerationEU (a €750 billion recovery fund); the implementation of the European Green Deal; Europe's digital transition; strengthening the EU's strategic autonomy. Among the main events: the Social Summit in Porto (7-8 May 2021) - signing of the Porto Declaration on Social Rights; adoption of the EU COVID-19 Certificate for the resumption of travel; launching the post-pandemic recovery process. Various trade agreements were also signed, and ties with Africa (especially Portuguese-speaking countries) were strengthened.
