"The European Union’s Spanish Presidency set as its objective the complete, rapid implementation of the provisions of the Treaty of Lisbon. This has created a new institutional equilibrium, granting increased powers to the European Parliament and national parliaments, and adding a European dimension to the respect for fundamental rights.
During the EU’s Spanish Presidency, important progress was made in areas such as implementing the Citizens’ Initiative, specialist opinions which need to be provided by national parliaments based on the additional protocols of the Treaty of Lisbon, new regulations governing the delegation of executive powers to the Commission, as well as the European External Action Service. We welcome the conclusion of the OpenSky Agreement between the US and EU, aimed at 60% of international passenger transport, along with the agreements for common regulations in the fields of civil aviation and air transport safety between the EU and Canada. I would also like to applaud the progress made on the cooperation agreement between the EU and Mercosur.
However, during the Spanish Presidency, the European Union was also faced with an alarming rise in unemployment, against the background of the economic and financial crisis which started in 2008. For this reason, I believe that reducing unemployment and providing sustainable economic growth ought to remain the number one priority for the EU’s Belgian Presidency too."@en1
