G8 2007 - GERMANY

The Group of Eight (G8), is an international forum for the governments of Canada, France Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, UK and USA.
Together, these countries represent about 65% of the world economy. The group's activities include year-round conferences and policy research, culminating with an annual summit meeting attended by the current leaders of the member states. The EU commission is also represented at the meetings.
Each year, member states of the G8 take turns assuming the presidency of the group. The holder of the presidency sets the group's annual agenda and hosts the summit for that year. The presidency for 2007 belongs to Germany, which will host the 33rd G8 summit in Heiligendamm from June 6 to 8.
