Belgium’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2010
Rotating presidency
Belgium was part of a team presidency with Spain and Hungary from 1 January 2010 until 30 June 2011 in the context of a joint 18-month programme, drawn up in collaboration. Succeeding Spain, Belgium officially concluded its Presidency of the Council of the European Union on 31 December 2010 and handed it over to Hungary. This was the twelfth time that Belgium has held the presidency. Did Belgium reach the targets it initially set itself? Below is the assessment of the Presidency, as well as some significant figures.
