To provide a certain continuity in the work of the EU, Belgium has established a common work programme with the previous Presidency (Spain) and the next Presidency (Hungary), as provided by the EU Treaties. This programme therefore covers a period of eighteen months, between January 2010 and June 2011.
These are the main objectives set up as part of this common work programme
The logo of the Belgian presidency is the winning entry of an international competition in which art and design students from Spain, Belgium and Hungary were invited to participate. It was selected by a panel of experts and is the work of a young Belgian student.
The dynamism of these three countries is symbolised by the fine cursive letters "eu" of the logo. They appear to be handwritten in order to invite all citizens to take ownership of the European project. Each version of the logo assumes the colours of the country's flag, but the addition of the word “trio” as an exponent denotes the solidarity between the three countries.
