The Programme for the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union

The Programme for the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union gives an overview on the focusses and planned activities of the Spanish EU presidency (January 1 to June 30, 2010). 

It also tackles issues concerning the Western Balkan Countries, e.g. stating that "the Spanish Presidency will firmly support the continuity of the EU enlargement process, according to the renewed consensus defined by the European Council in December 2006. Croatia’s accession negotiations will be particularly intensified for a prompt conclusion, the negotiations with Turkey will continue at a suitable pace, and the possible initiation of negotiations with Iceland will also be addressed. The integration prospect of other countries from the Western Balkans will be considered as well".
