註釋Two issues preoccupied the European Council in 2018: Brexit and migration. Whereas Brexit was an issue on which leaders of the EU27 could agree, migration was extremely divisive. It returned to the top of the European Council's agenda because of the strength of anti-immigrant sentiment in certain Member States. By the end of the year, the European Council had made considerable progress on the internal and external dimensions of migration policy, but the issue was far from being resolved at EU level. Other issues of concern to the European Council included reform of Economic and Monetary Union, relations with the United States, and possible EU enlargement in the Western Balkans. Procedurally, the assertiveness of Donald Tusk, in the second term of his mandate as President of the European Council, stood out during the year. The contrast with Herman Van Rompuy, his predecessor and first incumbent of the European Council presidency, was particularly striking.
