His Majesty Felipe VI, King of Spain, and Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa address MEPs on Wednesday at 12.00 during a formal sitting.

Spain and Portugal signed their accession treaties to join the then-European Communities on 12 June 1985 and their membership became effective on 1 January 1986. Their integration in the European project was widely seen as a key step in full transition of the two countries to democracy, after several decades of dictatorship, which ended in 1974 in Portugal and 1975 in Spain.
