"Mr President, Belgium is assuming leadership of the European Council for the 12th time, so it is, in theory, a country which is experienced in this role, although many in this Chamber are wondering how a country which, for five months, has not been able to appoint its own government and prime minister, will be able to lead the other 26 Member States. The next six months are going to be a particularly difficult period, for both Belgium and the other EU Member States. On the one hand, the responsibility of leadership is complicated by institutional changes brought in by the Treaty of Lisbon and, on the other, by the spectre of an enormous economic crisis.
Fighting the economic and financial crisis in Europe is identified by the Presidency as a priority. It also gives an important place to climate protection. Much is going to depend on having a pragmatic approach to implementing these intentions. Stimulating the development of a low-emission economy cannot be achieved at the expense of stifling industry in Central and Eastern Europe by the imposition of a drastic reduction in CO
. This would prevent the whole of Europe being lifted out of the crisis effectively. We should also hope that the current political turbulence in Belgium does not prove a hindrance to the achievement of the Presidency’s ambitious objectives."@en1
