"I note the work done by the Spanish Presidency, taking into account the particularly difficult circumstances which marked the first half of this year. Firstly, the Spanish Presidency’s mandate coincided with a period of transition to a new institutional structure as a result of the Treaty of Lisbon’s entry into force. There are now new actors such as the President of the Council and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs. In this new institutional context, I would also like to highlight the enhancement of Parliament’s competences and powers. Secondly, this Presidency has been faced with a period of severe financial and social crisis in Europe. It has faced the attack on the euro and the Greek crisis, and it has struggled with an alarming increase in unemployment and the deficit in its own country. It has contributed to the creation of a financial stabilisation mechanism to the value of EUR 75 billion and to improving the regulation of financial markets. At the same time, the Spanish Presidency never lost sight of the implementation of Europe’s priorities for policy, particularly in relation to the environment. Given this, I would like to highlight the Spanish Presidency’s cooperation in preparing and discussing my report on bio-wastes, which it unconditionally supported and which was adopted by an overwhelming majority this week in this Chamber."@en1
