Innovating Europe. The Programme for the Spanish Presidency of the European Union Council

Spain takes on the Presidency of the Council of the European Union on January 1st, 2010, a strategic moment for Europe. The entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon opens up a new period in which we have an appropriate legal framework to set into motion the Europe we need: a stronger, more united and more efficient Europe to respond to citizens' concerns.
The Spanish Presidency's main responsibility will be to guarantee full enforcement of the Treaty of Lisbon, as an essential requirement to develop the fundamental lines of action we have set forth for the next six-month period.
