"British Labour MEPs are pleased to have voted in favour of this resolution, which marks a genuine effort to maintain the progress of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) towards EU membership highlighting positive movements in combating corruption and protecting the freedom of media as well as pressing for the further actions necessary towards the opening of accession negotiations. We note that there has been considerable progress, and look forward to the possibility of opening accession talks with FYROM.
In relation to amendment 13 on the name issue negotiations, we voted against this amendment. Although we fully support all the work being done to find a resolution to the name issue, we do not believe that this should be linked in anyway to FYROM’s membership of international organisations. Each should be decided on its own merits.
Secondly, we abstained on the vote on amendment 7 discussing the issue of visa liberalisation. As the UK is not a party to the Schengen Agreement under which this issue rests, it was not appropriate for us to support this amendment."@en1
