lpv:spoken text	". – Kosovo's status is currently defined under UN Security Council Resolution 1244 of 10 June 1999. Any decision on its final status will therefore have to be taken by the Security Council. The international community has not set a clear point in time at which this issue will be debated. Consequently it is not up to the Commission to draw up scenarios for Kosovo's future status. The European Union fully supports the policy of standards before status pursued by the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo to which I have just referred, endorsed by the UN Security Council at its meeting of 24 April last year. UNMIC has set clear benchmarks concerning democratic and market economic reforms, human and minority rights, which are all necessary to prepare Kosovo for future challenges. These basic standards must be met before a discussion on status can begin. Kosovo is an integral part of the region for which we have devised the stabilisation and association process to bring it closer to European Union structures. We have made sure that Kosovo's unresolved status does not prevent it from benefiting from the stabilisation and association process."@en1
