SELECTED RECOMMEND\u0391TIONS TO THE SP\u0391NISH, BELGI\u0391N AND HUNG\u0391RI\u0391N TRIO PRESIDE\u039dCY <\/strong>(p. 276):<\/p>\n

1. Ensure that the new General affairs Council \u2013 chaired by the Trio Presidency \u2013 fulfils the role of a strategic coordinator of policy-making in the EU.<\/p>\n

2. Focus on improving European economic governance and strengthening Economic and Monetary Union within a broadened framework of macroeconomic coordination and surveillance.<\/p>\n

3. Endorse a highly constructive role for the Ecofin presidency, along with a pro-active Commission and a strong Eurogroup chair, in order to foster better economic coordination.<\/p>\n

4. Maintain the momentum for reform of financial-market regulation, specifically through close coordination with the G20.<\/p>\n

5. Strengthen EU influence through a single representation in international bodies, starting with the Eurogroup, in the institutions and forums of world economic governance (G20, IMF, World Bank).<\/p>\n

6. Ensure that the EU-2020 Strategy, integrating social, environmental and growth objectives, rests on an in-depth diagnosis of the economic crisis and its social impact. Striving for quick agreement should not take precedence over the need to build a solid political consensus.<\/p>\n

7. Identify complementary EU initiatives within a framework of Europeanwide employment policies in order to better meet the challenge of high unemployment.<\/p>\n

8. Build an internal European energy market supported by a Europe-wide infrastructure network.<\/p>\n

9. Complement the EU climate change strategy by a transport and climate change package, major initiatives on clean coal technologies, and an increase in carbon prices, with the aim of preserving the credibility of the EU\u2019s emissions trading scheme.<\/p>\n

10. Guarantee that cooperation with third countries concerning illegal immigration and pre-border controls does not undermine the right of asylum and other human rights obligations.<\/p>\n

11. Work with the United States towards shared priorities on counter-terrorism, specifically on aid for North and West africa as well as stabilising Pakistan.<\/p>\n

12. Help the High Representative set up a European External action Service (EEaS) that adds real value to EU foreign policy. The EEaS should be given the means to deliver high-quality political reporting and to tackle energy, migration, and security issues.<\/p>\n

13. Contribute to a peaceful debate on enlargement in order to maintain the issue high on the agenda, with a clearer roadmap, and to make sure that the momentum for reform in the countries applying for accession is not damaged.<\/p>\n

14. Encourage intensified dialogue with national parliaments in order to foster constructive attitudes in a way that allows EU affairs to enter the national political scene earlier in the policy-making process.<\/p>\n

15. Start the debate on the revision of the EU budget with a clear understanding of political priorities and common principles, such as coherent and consistent EU funding for traditional policies (particularly Cohesion and agriculture) and for new priorities (such as the EU-2020 Strategy); work on overcoming the net-contributor logic, linking revenue and spending sides and reforming the Common agriculture Policy beforehand.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
