A particularly welcome feature of the Commission’s legislative and work programme are the measures planned to combat the economic crisis in Europe. Next year, European politics must manage to identify long-term prospects for the EU and, in cooperation with the general public, limit the adverse effects that the crisis in the financial market is having on the entire European economy.
The effects of crises such as this are often only felt in the real economy at a later point in time. In addition to action taken by the individual states, Europe must introduce measures in order to keep the negative consequences to a minimum.
The year 2009 will be decisive in the fight against climate change.
Next year, Europe will have the chance to set itself up as a strong international partner in connection with environmental protection issues. Establishing the EU’s negotiating position for the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen is not only a high priority as far as environmental issues are concerned, there are also interconnections to other political fields. The European Union can prove itself to be a pioneering force, not only with respect to the continent of Europe but also in connection with protecting the climate on a global basis.
Nevertheless, next year we must ensure that ongoing work is not forgotten due to the important forthcoming initiatives.
Even though the state of the common agricultural policy has been reviewed this year, the interests of the agricultural sector must continue to have high priority within European politics."@en1
