2011年，荷兰执政联盟艰难获得议会一院多数席位，但面临的政治与社会问题不容忽视；比利时新政府历经一年多谈判终于艰难问世，国内民族矛盾不容忽视，但国家运转正常，经济持续增长；卢森堡政局稳定，经济持续增长，但失业问题仍待有效解决。在外交方面，荷比卢三国在利比亚问题上保持“共同立场”。在对华关系上，三国均通过组织丰富多彩的活动参与了“中欧青年交流年”项目。
The Greek economic situation is worsening in 2011 and its escalating sovereign debt crisis has forced the Euro Zone to take further rescuing measures.

Meanwhile, Cyprus and Malta saw their financial problems exaggerating, which was threatening their political stability.
