The beginning of the end of the serious, twin crisis – institutional and economic –that Europe has endured for more than a year, will dominate the 6-month Spanish presidency of the European Union and the term of the new team presidency – comprising the trio of Spain, Belgium and Hungary – starting 1st January, 2010. During this period, the seemingly endless processof ratifying the new Treaty which will govern the future workings of the EU must conclude, and a lasting economic recovery must start. As there is not much room left for special measures, the new productive model for growth and job-creation must be achieved through structural reforms based on the competitiveness of innovation and on sustainability, both social and environmental.
