The Secretary of State for the European Union (SEUE) is a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation of the Government of Spain.

The Secretary of State for the European Union is responsible for the formulation and execution of the policy of Spain within the European Union. Likewise, he assists the Foreign Minister in the formulation and execution of the foreign policy of Spain in the geographical area corresponding to the countries of the European Union, candidate countries, countries of the European Economic Area and other European countries.

As the highest office after the Minister in European Union Affairs, the Secretary of State is responsible for overseen the actions of the different bodies of the different national administrations within the European Union as well as overseen and give orders to the Permanent Representative of Spain to the European Union.[1]

History

The origin of this secretariat of state dates back to July 26, 1977[2] when prime minister Adolfo Suárez officially applied for admission of Spain in the European Communities, three days after the Cortes Generales approved it.

To start the negotiations, the prime minister created in July 1978 a Ministry for the Relations with the European Communities and appointed Leopoldo Calvo-Sotelo as minister.[3] The negotiations started on February 5, 1979.[4] Eduard Punset succeeded Calvo-Sotelo in the Ministry in 1980 until 1981, when the Ministry was suppressed and was degraded to a secretariat of state within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After this, the Foreign Minister Fernando Morán López

After this, the Foreign Minister Fernando Morán López assumed a main role in the negotiations being supported by the Secretary of State for Relations with the European Communities, culminating in the signing of the accession agreement in June 1985 and entry into force in January 1986. Before all of this process, in 1962, Spain already requested the accession but was rejected because the country was under a dictatorship.[5]

With the entrance of Spain in the Union, the country quickly became one of the most important and influential countries of the EU, by assuming important offices as the Office of the High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy with Javier Solana and the Presidency of the European Parliament with Josep Borrell and Manuel Marín (being considered the father of the Erasmus Programme).

The first and second Secretaries of State had to worked with a very small staff because of the reason of being of this department as a auxiliary body to the Minister in the accession negotiations but in 1985 an important reform was carried out in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. With the entry in the Union, the secretariat of State was focused not in negotiations affairs but in coordination between the Spanish administrations and the European institutions.

With the change of government of 1996, the new prime minister elevated the category of the General Secretariat for Foreign Policy to secretariat of State and merged it with the Secretariat of State for European Communities, being responsible not only for the relations with the European Union but the rest of the world.

In 2000,[6] the secretariat of state split in two and this one was renamed «for European Affairs». In 2004 was adopted the current denomination «for the European Union»,[7] that was briefly changed between 2017 and 2018 «for European Affairs» but recovered by the Sánchez government.[8]
