I share the concern of the honourable Member about the high level of unemployment in Kosovo. It is detrimental that the province has developed unemployment that, on the basis of some statistics, is about 50%, but on the basis of other statistics is even higher. Therefore, it is indispensable that we continue to support Kosovo with our financial assistance. It is also vital that the provisional institutions of self-government in Kosovo be given support under UNMIK Pillar 4, which the EU supports, in order to make headway as regards economic reform, including privatisation.
In general, the settlement is needed sooner rather than later as the demographic pressure in Kosovo makes its economic recovery a very difficult task in the absence of a clear legally defined and internationally recognised framework.
As regards the future role of the Union, the idea that the European Union would replace the United Nations in a leading executive role would be problematic. We support the idea of a streamlined UN mission handing over as much responsibility as possible to empower the local authorities that should, as much as possible, be our direct interlocutors in the future."@en1
