In its informal capacity, the de facto summit President has been the European Council President, meaning that Herman Van Rompuy chaired all meetings since March 2010 to December 2014. The proposals for formalisation of the summit include electing a President along the same lines (and term) as the European Council President,[29] and until then Van Rompuy continues to chair the summit. On 1 March 2012, according to the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union (TSCG), he was formally elected as President of the Euro Summit for the term 1 June 2012 to 30 November 2014.[8] New president for the term 1 December 2014 until 31 May 2017, is the former Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.[9] Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel was elected new president on 2 July 2019, taking office on 1 December 2019.[30]
