"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, thank you very much for your very detailed answer. One question: you yourself say that Croatia has already made an application for accession and that Macedonia has also announced that it will do the same in the autumn. With these accessions being announced, would it not be politically better for the European Union to propose that these countries be put on the list of candidate countries, which is legally and politically different from formally opening up negotiations? With regard to the countries of the Caucasus, which I have had many opportunities to visit, each time I have noticed that the Greek ambassadors were more mindful of the need to ensure a clear possibility for integrating those countries into the European Union. You know as well as I do that the destabilisation brought about by a major neighbouring country has had absolutely devastating effects and that it is a vicious circle, that without a clear option of accession these countries will not be able to get out of the spiral. So do you not think that it is urgent that the Union should propose the same to those countries?"@en1
