"Madam President, I am glad that Parliament has finally adopted the amendments to Council Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 introducing exceptional trade measures for countries and territories participating in or linked to the European Union’s Stabilisation and Association process. These measures will revitalise trade with the Western Balkan countries and help their economies through privileged access to the EU market. In turn, economic development is to foster political stability in the entire region. It is in the EU’s interest to make efforts to mitigate the effect of the economic crisis on the Western Balkans.
These amendments permit the extension of the regulation’s validity to 31 December 2015. It took the European Parliament a long time to adopt these extensions and that had unwanted consequences for trade relations with the poorest countries in the region, such as Kosovo. I hope that in future, the European Parliament will act more swiftly in such a situation, taking into consideration Parliament’s position on the integration of the region and efforts to improve economic relations with the countries of the Western Balkans."@en1
