Conclusions – 10/11 December 2009
The new Treaty of Lisbon will allow the Union to fully concentrate on addressing the challenges
ahead. Work will continue in the coming months to ensure its full implementation, particularly as
regards the setting up of the European External Action Service and the adoption of legislation on
the citizens' initiative. Noting that the economic situation is starting to show signs of stabilisation,
the European Council stressed the importance of developing credible and coordinated strategies for
exiting from the broad-based stimulus policies once the recovery is fully secured. Over the past
months the EU has made good progress in strengthening its regulatory framework, in particular
with the agreement reached by the Council on a fundamentally new structure for financial
supervision in Europe. Given the important structural challenges facing the EU, it is necessary to
evaluate the impact of the Lisbon Strategy and develop a new strategy which also responds to new
challenges. The European Council adopted a new multi-annual programme for the years 2010-
2014, the Stockholm Programme, which will allow for the further development of an area of
freedom, security and justice. The European Council exchanged views on how the EU could best
contribute to a successful outcome at the Copenhagen Conference on climate change. Reconfirming
the position it had agreed at its October meeting, it stated the readiness of the EU and its Member
States to contribute with fast-start funding of EUR 2.4 billion annually for the years 2010 to 2012.
The European Council adopted declarations on Iran and on Afghanistan.

I.
Institutional issues
1.
The European Council welcomes the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon on 1 December.
The Treaty provides the Union with a stable and lasting institutional framework and will
allow the Union to fully concentrate on addressing the challenges ahead.
2.
The intensive preparatory work carried out during the Swedish Presidency, as set out in the
Presidency's report (EUCO 5/09), has allowed for a smooth entry into force of the Treaty. On
1 December Herman Van Rompuy took office as President of the European Council and
Catherine Ashton as High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security
Policy.
3.
The European Council invites the High Representative to rapidly present, on the basis of the
Presidency report adopted by the European Council on 29 October 2009, the proposal on the
organisation and functioning of the European External Action Service with a view to its
adoption, together with the related legal acts, by the end of April 2010. Members States will
continue to provide input in this area.

Conclusions – 10/11 December 2009
4.
The European Council welcomes the launch by the Commission of a public consultation on
the citizens' initiative. It invites the Commission to present a legislative proposal as soon as
possible, with a view to its adoption within the first half of 2010.
5.
Further to the European Council's conclusions of December 2008 and June 2009, the Spanish
Government submitted a proposal for the amendment of the Treaties as regards transitional
measures concerning the composition of the European Parliament. The European Council
decided to consult the European Parliament and the Commission with a view to rapidly
examining this proposal.
II.
The economic, financial and employment situation
6.
The economic and financial crisis has posed severe challenges to the world economy and
resulted in the most difficult economic downturn since the 1930s. To tackle the crisis, the EU
and its Member States have implemented a wide range of extraordinary measures including
the European Economic Recovery Plan from December 2008. The support measures have
been crucial in restoring confidence in financial markets and ensuring their proper functioning
as well as dampening the impact of the crisis on growth and employment.
7.
The economic situation is starting to show signs of stabilisation and confidence is increasing.
Forecasts suggest a weak recovery in 2010, followed by a return to stronger growth in 2011.
But uncertainties and fragilities remain, while the employment and social situation is expected
to deteriorate further in 2010. Policies in support of the economy should therefore remain in
place and only be withdrawn when recovery is fully secured. In order to anchor expectations
and reinforce confidence, the European Council reconfirms the importance of developing and
communicating credible and coordinated strategies for exiting from the broad-based stimulus
policies.

Conclusions – 10/11 December 2009
Exit strategies
8.
The European Council emphasises that the fiscal exit strategy will be implemented within the
framework of the Stability and Growth Pact, which remains the cornerstone of the EU's
budgetary framework. Recommendations to the countries in Excessive Deficit Procedure, in
particular as adopted by the Council on 2 December, are an important tool for restoring sound
public finances. In this context, the European Council reiterates its conclusions from 20
October on fiscal exit strategy and recalls that the strategy will include a consolidation of well
beyond the benchmark of 0.5% of GDP per year combined with structural reforms
underpinning long-term fiscal sustainability. Fiscal consolidation should start in 2011 at the
latest, earlier in some Member States where economic circumstances make this appropriate,
provided that the Commission forecasts continue to indicate that the recovery is strengthening
and becoming self-sustaining.
9.
There is a need for more broad-based exit strategies, also taking into account the need to
unwind financial support schemes. The principles for withdrawal of support to the financial
sector, as set out by the Council on 2 December 2009, must guide further work. It is crucial
to develop a coordinated approach, which takes account of financial stability and individual
Member States' circumstances and provides adequate incentives for financial institutions to
cease to depend on public financial support.
10.
The European Council underlined that the phasing out of public support measures should be
duly coordinated among Member States to avoid negative spill-over effects, that the timing of
exit should take into account a broad range of elements, in line with the Council conclusions
of 2 December 2009, and that, depending on individual Member States' circumstances, the
phasing out of support should start with government guarantees.
11.
The European Council encourages the Council to continue its work on exit strategies and to
report back by June 2010, both in the fiscal area and in the financial sector.

Conclusions – 10/11 December 2009
Financial markets, including supervision
12.
The financial crisis has clearly demonstrated the weaknesses of the current regulatory
framework and supervisory arrangements for financial institutions. The European Council
welcomes the rapid and determined action taken by the Council which has agreed a
fundamentally new structure for financial supervision in Europe. This new structure will be
set up to re-establish confidence of consumers and investors in financial markets, to provide
greater protection against future bubbles and crises in the economy and to enhance stability
and bring oversight into line with the reality of market integration.
13.
The European Council welcomes the general approach reached by the Council on a complete
package for a new supervisory framework in the European Union. A new European Systemic
Risk Board will provide the European Union with a system for monitoring macro-prudential
risks and issuing risk warnings and recommendations for remedial action when such risks are
significant. The three new supervisory authorities for banks, insurance and securities markets
will develop common technical standards, will have a strong co-ordinating role in supervisory
colleges, be able to act effectively in case of financial emergencies, and ensure the consistent
application of EU law inter alia through binding mediation. The European Council looks
forward to negotiations with the European Parliament with a view to a swift adoption, so that
the new system can become operational during the course of 2010.

Conclusions – 10/11 December 2009
14.
The adoption by the Council of a general approach regarding amendments to the Capital
Requirements Directive is a further step towards strengthening financial regulation in the light
of the financial crisis. It enhances the capital requirements for certain banking activities and
introduces clear and binding rules on remuneration consistent with those endorsed by G 20
leaders. Remuneration policies within the financial sector must promote sound and effective
risk management and should contribute to preventing future crises in the economy. The
European Council is now looking to the European Parliament to swiftly reach a final
agreement. The European Council invites the financial sector to immediately implement
sound compensation practices and in that respect encourages Member States to promptly
consider available short-term options. The European Council welcomes the Commission’s
intention to closely monitor the implementation of sound remuneration principles. The
European Council also calls for further progress on countering pro-cyclicality in the banking
sector and invites the Commission to present further proposals in 2010 taking account of the
work underway in the Basel Committee.
15.
The European Council emphasises the importance of renewing the economic and social
contract between financial institutions and the society they serve and of ensuring that the
public benefits in good times and is protected from risk. The European Council encourages
the IMF to consider the full range of options including insurance fees, resolution funds,
contingent capital arrangements and a global financial transaction levy in its review.
In line with the European Council conclusions of October 2009, it calls on the Council and the
Commission to identify the key principles which new global arrangements would need to
respect.
16.
The European Council also stresses the need to accelerate work on the draft Directive on
alternative investment fund managers, which should also address the issue of appropriate
remuneration policies. It welcomes the Commission's intention to present legislative
proposals in 2010 to improve the stability and transparency of derivative markets.

Conclusions – 10/11 December 2009
A new EU 2020 strategy
17.
The EU faces important structural challenges. This is why the Lisbon strategy was launched
ten years ago. This strategy has been useful in setting a framework for strengthening
European competitiveness and encouraging structural reform. The time has now come to
evaluate the impact of the Lisbon strategy and, above all, to look ahead. In view of the
economic and social impact of the crisis, in view also of the challenges posed by ageing
populations, increasing inequalities and climate change, a new approach is needed more than
ever. In order to further improve competitiveness and increase the EU's sustainable growth
potential, policies must be refocused towards long-term reforms in an ambitious and
revamped new strategy.
18.
Building on work already done, the time leading up to the Spring European Council should be
used to define the elements of such a strategy for EU 2020 and to examine how to ensure
sustainable public finances whilst preserving investment and social welfare, how to establish
inclusive and efficient labour markets, how to further strengthen the internal market and how
to fully exploit the reciprocal benefits of external trade and openness. Other important issues
to be examined relate to the benefits offered by a greener economy, the improvement of the
business climate, in particular for SMEs and the industrial base, and the enhancement of the
knowledge base in our economies, including research and innovation. In this context, every
effort should be made to ensure economic, social and territorial cohesion and gender equality.
19.
At the same time the European Council calls for a new reflection on the methodology to be
used; a more efficient and transparent governance structure is needed, geared towards
reaching tangible results. In this context, monitoring and evaluation of policy measures are
crucial. Further reflection is also necessary on how to improve coordination of economic
policies and on the best way of using country recommendations to strengthen the link between
national and EU measures, and enhance national ownership through more active involvement
of social partners as well as of regional and local authorities.

Conclusions – 10/11 December 2009
20.
The European Council takes note of the consultation launched by the Commission on the
future strategy and looks forward to discussing an ambitious proposal as early as possible in
2010 with a view to full discussion in the European Council, including at its 2010 Spring
meeting.
Sustainable Development Strategy
21.
Sustainable development remains a fundamental objective of the European Union under the
Lisbon Treaty. As emphasised in the Presidency's report on the 2009 review of the Union's
Sustainable Development Strategy (16818/09), the strategy will continue to provide a long-
term vision and constitute the overarching policy framework for all Union policies and
strategies.
22.
A number of unsustainable trends require urgent action. Significant additional efforts are
needed to curb and adapt to climate change, to decrease high energy consumption in the
transport sector and to reverse the current loss of biodiversity and natural resources. The shift
to a safe and sustainable low-carbon and low-input economy will require a stronger focus in
the future. Priority actions should be more clearly specified in future reviews. Governance,
including implementation, monitoring and follow-up mechanisms should be reinforced for
example through clearer links to the future EU 2020 strategy and other cross-cutting
strategies.
23.
The European Council welcomes the Commission' s intention to establish the Forum for
"Outermost Europe" open to all Member States and outermost regions, as set out in its
communication presented on 17 October 2008. The inaugural forum will be held in Brussels
on 27 and 28 May 2010 and from then on, every two years.

Conclusions – 10/11 December 2009
24.
The European Council recalls the objective to carry out a comprehensive budget review
covering all aspects of EU spending and resources. The European Council invites the
Commission to come forward with a report in order to provide orientations on priorities
during 2010. The European Council looks forward to the presentation by the Commission of
its proposal for the next multiannual financial framework at the latest by July 2011.
III. The Stockholm Programme - An open and secure Europe serving and protecting the
citizens
25.
The European Council reaffirms its determination to continue the development of an area of
freedom, security and justice, serving and protecting EU citizens and those living in this area.
Five years after the Hague Programme, it is time for the Union to review its policy to effectively
meet the new challenges, taking full advantage of the opportunities presented by the Lisbon
Treaty. To this end the European Council adopted a new multi-annual programme for the years
2010-2014, the Stockholm Programme.
26.
The European Council considers that the priority for the coming years should be to focus on the
interests and needs of the citizens and other persons for whom the EU has a responsibility. The
challenge will be to ensure respect for fundamental rights and freedoms and integrity while
guaranteeing security in Europe. It is of paramount importance that law enforcement measures
and measures to safeguard individual rights, the rule of law and international protection rules
are coherent and mutually reinforcing. The Stockholm programme focuses on the priorities set
out below.

Conclusions – 10/11 December 2009
27.
Promoting citizenship and fundamental rights:
European citizenship must become a tangible
reality. The area of freedom, security and justice must above all be a single area in which
fundamental rights are protected. The enlargement of the Schengen area must continue.
Respect for the human person and human dignity and for the other rights set out in the Charter
of Fundamental Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights are core values. For
example, the exercise of these freedoms and citizens' privacy must be preserved beyond
national borders, especially by protecting personal data. Allowance must be made for the
special needs of vulnerable people, and European citizens and others must be able to exercise
their specific rights to the full within the European Union and even, where relevant, outside
the Union.
28.
A Europe of law and justice:
The achievement of a European area of justice must be
consolidated so as to move beyond the current fragmentation. Priority should be given to
mechanisms that facilitate access to justice, so that people can enforce their rights
throughout the Union. Cooperation between public professionals and their training should
also be improved, and resources should be mobilised to eliminate barriers to the recognition
of legal decisions in other Member States.
29.
A Europe that protects:
An internal security strategy should be developed in order to further
improve security in the Union and thus protect the lives and safety of European citizens and
tackle organised crime, terrorism and other threats. The strategy should be aimed at
strengthening cooperation in law enforcement, border management, civil protection, disaster
management as well as judicial cooperation in criminal matters in order to make Europe more
secure. Moreover, the European Union needs to base its work on solidarity between Member
States and make full use of Article 222 TFEU.
30.
Access to Europe in a globalised world: Access to Europe for persons recognized as having a
legitimate interest to access EU territory has to be made more effective and efficient. At the
same time, the Union and its Member States have to guarantee security for its citizens.
Integrated border management and visa policies should be construed to serve these goals.

Conclusions – 10/11 December 2009
31.
A Europe of responsibility, solidarity and partnership in migration and asylum matters:
The development of a forward-looking and comprehensive European migration policy, based
on solidarity and responsibility, remains a key policy objective for the European Union.
Effective implementation of all relevant legal instruments needs to be undertaken and full use
should be made of relevant Agencies and Offices operating in this field. Well-managed
migration can be beneficial to all stakeholders. The European Pact on Immigration and
Asylum provides a clear basis for further development in this field. Europe will need a
flexible policy which is responsive to the priorities and needs of Member States and enables
migrants to take full advantage of their potential. The objective to establish a common
asylum system in 2012 remains and people in need of protection must be ensured access to
legally safe and efficient asylum procedures. Moreover, in order to maintain credible and
sustainable immigration and asylum systems in the EU, it is necessary to prevent, control and
combat illegal migration as the EU faces an increasing pressure from illegal migration flows
and particularly the Member States at its external borders, including at its Southern borders, in
line with the conclusions of the European Council in October 2009.
The role of Europe in a globalised world – the external dimension:
The importance of the
external dimension of the EU's policy in the area of freedom, security and justice underlines
the need for increased integration of these policies into the general policies of the European
Union. The external dimension is essential to address the key challenges we face and in
providing greater opportunities for EU citizens to work and do business with countries across
the world. The external dimension of Freedom, Security and Justice is crucial to the
successful implementation of the objectives of this programme and should in particular be
taken into account in, and be fully coherent with, all other aspects of EU foreign policy.
32.
33.
The European Council invites the Commission to present an Action Plan for implementing the
Stockholm Programme, to be adopted at the latest in June 2010, and to submit a midterm
review before June 2012.

Conclusions – 10/11 December 2009
IV. The Copenhagen Conference on climate change
34.
The Copenhagen Conference constitutes a historic opportunity for the international
community to act together to respond to the challenge of climate change. The European
Council recalls the negotiating position that it adopted on 30 October 2009. All Parties must
devote themselves fully to reaching a global, comprehensive, ambitious and politically
binding Copenhagen Agreement that will cover all building blocks of the Bali Action Plan
and builds on the essential elements of the Kyoto Protocol. A prerequisite for a Copenhagen
Agreement is that it uses commonly agreed, transparent, international standards for
measurement, reporting and verification, thus ensuring transparency and compliance of
commitments, actions and support. In this context, the European Union will support efforts
towards enhancing international environmental governance. The agreement should lead to
finalising a legally binding instrument, preferably within six months after the Copenhagen
Conference, for the period starting on 1 January 2013.
35.
The European Council welcomes in this context the recent pledges for emission reductions
from a number of countries. Our common objective must be to stay below the science-based
two degree limit for global warming. Some Parties have not yet presented offers
corresponding to this objective. The European Council urges developed countries to do so
without further delay and developing countries, especially the more advanced, to commit to
appropriate mitigation action.
36.
The European Union is at the forefront of efforts to fight climate change. As part of a global
and comprehensive agreement for the period beyond 2012, the EU reiterates its conditional
offer to move to a 30% reduction by 2020 compared to 1990 levels, provided that other
developed countries commit themselves to comparable emission reductions and that
developing countries contribute adequately according to their responsibilities and respective
capabilities.

Conclusions – 10/11 December 2009
37.
The Copenhagen Agreement should include provisions on immediate action, starting in 2010.
The European Council acknowledges that this requires scaled up financial support. Fast-start
international public support should imply specific and separate support for adaptation,
mitigation, including forestry and capacity building, with a special emphasis on vulnerable
and least developed countries. The EU calls on developed countries to announce their
contributions to such support, in line with the October European Council conclusions. The EU
is confident that a global amount of EUR 7 billion annually will be reached. The EU and its
Member States are ready to contribute with fast-start funding of EUR 2.4 billion annually for
the years 2010 to 2012.
38.
In addition, the European Council recognises the need for a significant increase in public and
private financial flows to 2020 and reiterates its conclusions of October 2009. In that context
the European Council reconfirms its commitment to provide its fair share of international
public support.
V.
Enlargement
39.
The European Council endorses the Council conclusions of 8 December 2009 on Enlargement
and the Stabilisation and Association Process.
VI. External relations
Development
40.
The European Council recognises the continued impact of the economic crisis on the poorest,
reaffirms its Official Development Assistance commitments and will return to the issue at its
meeting in June 2010 in advance of the UN Summit.

Eastern Partnership and the Union for the Mediterranean
41.
The European Council welcomes the start of the implementation of the Eastern Partnership
since its launch at the Summit held in Prague on 7 May 2009 and notes with satisfaction all
the recent steps and initiatives taken to strengthen and deepen the relations between the EU
and the Partners. The European Council underlines the European Union’s commitment to
further the implementation of the Eastern Partnership and to promote political and socio-
economic reforms of the partner countries, facilitating approximation towards the European
Union.

The European Council underlines the importance of the enhanced partnership between the EU
and the Mediterranean partner countries and welcomes the process of reinforcing relations as
well as efforts to further strengthen cooperation and dialogue and establishing the structures
of the Union for the Mediterranean.

Conclusions – 10/11 December 2009
ANNEX I
DECLARATION ON IRAN
The European Council underlines that the European Union since 2004 has been working for a
diplomatic solution of the issue of Iran’s nuclear programme. The European Council expresses its
grave concern that Iran has so far done nothing to rebuild confidence of the international
community in the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear programme. The fact that Iran has
constructed a clandestine enrichment facility near Qom, in breach of its obligations, and the
declaration of an intent to construct further plants have further deepened the European Council’s
concerns.
The European Council again urges Iran to comply fully and without further delay with its
obligations under the relevant resolutions of the United Nations Security Council and the IAEA,
notably to meet the requirements set out by the IAEA Board of Governor’s resolution of 27
November 2009.
The European Council regrets that Iran has not agreed with the IAEA to a scheme of nuclear fuel
supply for the Tehran research reactor, which would contribute to build confidence while
responding to Iran’s need for medical radio-isotopes.
The European Council notes with great concern that Iran has failed to take up repeated offers by
China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and the EU High
Representative Javier Solana to further discuss its nuclear programme and other issues of mutual
concern. It nonetheless remains committed to work for a diplomatic solution of the issue of Iran’s
nuclear programme. The offer of negotiations remains on the table.

Conclusions – 10/11 December 2009
The European Union will continue to review all aspects of the Iranian nuclear issue and will decide
soon on further steps within the context of the dual track approach. In this regard the European
Union remains ready to engage with Iran in order to reach a negotiated solution to the issue, should
Iran take concrete decisions towards that end. However, Iran’s persistent failure to meet its
international obligations and Iran’s apparent lack of interest in pursuing negotiations require a clear
response, including through appropriate measures. Consistent with the dual-track approach, the
European Union would support action by the UNSC if Iran continues not to co-operate with the
international community over its nuclear programme. The European Union stands ready to take the
necessary steps to accompany this UNSC process. The European Council requests EU Foreign
Ministers to consider options for next steps to this end at the next Foreign Affairs Council.
The European Council reiterates its deep concern for continued violations of human rights in Iran.
The European Union will continue to raise its concerns with the Iranian government and remind
Iran of its international obligations, including under the international covenant on civil and political
rights. The European Council reiterates its rising concern also about the situation of staff members
of European Union Missions and European citizens in Iran who recently have been on trial, and
continues to call for their prompt and unconditional release. Any action against one EU Member
State is considered an action against the entire EU.

ANNEX II
DECLARATION ON AFGHANISTAN
The European Council reiterates the EU's strong commitments to promote stability and
development in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
In this context, the Council underlines the EU's readiness to support President Hamid Karzai in the
implementation of his commitments, as set out in the five key areas of his inauguration speech: on
security, governance and anti-corruption, economic development, including agriculture, peace and
reconciliation and on regional cooperation. This requires close and strategic coordination of the
international efforts under the lead of UNAMA.
The European Council recalls that the EU has initiated decisive steps to strengthen and achieve a
more coherent and concerted approach to EU action in Afghanistan and Pakistan, through its Plan
of Action for the region.
The European Council welcomes the recent announcement by President Obama of a reinforced
engagement and commitment by the United States to Afghanistan and Pakistan. This announcement
comes at a time of renewed focus and engagement by the international community as a whole. The
European Union stands ready to work closely with Afghanistan, the United States, regional and
other partners in the international community in addressing the challenges in Afghanistan.

Conclusions – 10/11 December 2009
The European Council underlines the need to maintain a comprehensive approach to the challenges
in Afghanistan, building on a combination of political, civilian/development and military
instruments. The focus must be on enabling the government of Afghanistan at national and sub-
national level gradually to assume full responsibility for the security, stabilization and social and
economic development of the country, and to deliver tangible results. In this context the European
Council particularly emphasizes the need for capacity building in Afghanistan. The European Union
and its Member States are already today spending close to € 1 billion a year on various civilian,
political and developmental activities in Afghanistan, in addition to the EU Member States large
contributions to security through ISAF. The European Council reiterates the EU’s commitment to
the Afghan police and justice sector, inter alia through the EU Police Mission in Afghanistan.
An international conference is to be held in London on 28 January 2010. The European Council
expects clear commitments from the Afghan government at this occasion in the fields of
governance, in particular on sub-national level, action against corruption, counter narcotics,
reintegration and socio-economic development and building strong relations with its neighbours and
the region. In return, we expect renewed political support by the international community for
security, governance and economic development, including by enhancing the international
coordination structure. This conference will thus be a step towards the transition of responsibilities
to the Afghan authorities.
