"Mr President, although the EU got its new legal framework by the end of 2009, it was the task of the Spanish Presidency to make Europe move and to make the framework work.
The Spanish Presidency delivered what was expected concerning the most important institutional issues. We did not agree on everything but we began to fill the Lisbon framework with life and concrete details. Next to these seemingly technical issues, the presidential programme of our Spanish friends did not lack policy ambitions. They established themselves as models for working towards gender equality and the promotion of women’s rights. Huge thanks go to this Presidency, especially to Mr López Garrido and his team, for making this often neglected issue a core one during the last six months. We have not yet managed to finalise the European Protection Order but I am hopeful that we will do so under the Belgian Presidency.
The Spanish also met high expectations on democratic rights. This is clearly reflected in their diligent effort on making the European Citizens’ Initiative operational as soon as possible. As thanks for this, the rapporteurs, Alain Lamassoure and myself, have already prepared a working document in the Committee on Constitutional Affairs on the ECI.
Thank you very much, once again, for the job that you have done, and I hope to continue working to achieve the goals that you have set out. Congratulations!"@en1
