"Mr President, we began this year full of fear because of the global crisis, but also full of hope, because of the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon. In January, the Prime Minister of Spain presented ambitious plans to be realised during his leadership. Unfortunately, not a great deal of this proved possible to achieve. However, this is not the main reason why the Spanish Presidency cannot be evaluated positively. Its main fault was chaos, which was prophetically foretold by the face of Mr Bean placed by a hacker on the Spanish website. The chaos showed itself in the fact that, on the one hand, Madrid brought about tremendous disorder in the Union’s external actions, encroaching on the competences of the High Representative, while on the other, it did not put any active measures in place in response to the worsening budgetary crisis. Mr Zapatero was unable to sense the mood in the Union when the need was for a strong leader, not on the international scene, but within the Union. The Union’s main problem was not policy towards Cuba, an arms embargo on China or the peace process in the Middle East, but a weakening of Europe as a result of the budgetary problems of Greece, Italy, Portugal and of Spain itself."@en1
