Spain in the European Union (1986-2016)
Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
On 12 June 1985 Spain signed the Accession Treaty to the European Communities and on 1 January 1986 its membership became official. The aim of the article is to analyze the balance of the Spanish membership in the European Union in the economic, financial, political and social dimensions. Membership in the European Union changed the Spanish economy and the new politics opened up new opportunities for businesses and citizens. The influence of regional integration on the political, economic, and social reforms of the parliamentary monarchy has been determined. It is shown, that each next stage of European integration produced new opportunities, expectations and challenges for the state. The peculiarities of Spanish presidencies in the EU in 1989, 1995, 2002 and 2010 are characterized. The last presidency was in 2010, following the entry into force of Lisbon Treaty. Spain stood out for its support for Economic and Monetary Union, the common foreign and security policy and the defense policy. It is found that for Spain as a middleweight country, the most successful means of exerting influence on the world stage is to exert influence in the EU.
