"We have adopted an important resolution evaluating the state of accession negotiations with Croatia. It is important that the resolution shows which measures should be taken to accelerate accession talks, so that the technical details can be completed in 2010. The authorities in Croatia should devote more attention to providing society with better information about the benefits of EU membership. The functioning of Croatia within the framework of a single, common European market will bring about a development of commercial exchange, an influx of investment and general economic growth.
The support from EU funds for modernisation of Croatia’s economy, building of its infrastructure and restructuring of its agriculture is also not without significance. Many examples can be given, here, of the benefits received by the countries which acceded in the last two enlargements. The very fact of belonging to a united Europe is, certainly, not without significance. Negotiations in the areas of fishing, the environment and the Common Foreign and Security Policy should be unblocked as soon as possible.
I expect the Presidency and the Commission to take specific measures in this area. Up till now, we have explained that further enlargement can take place only after adoption of the Treaty of Lisbon. The treaty is now in force, and we should accelerate talks on Croatia’s membership, along with preparations for enlargement of the Union to include other Balkan states. This is very important for stabilisation in the region."@en1
