"With Regulation (EC) No 2007/2000 the European Union has granted exceptional, unlimited, duty-free access to the EU market for nearly all products originating in the countries and territories benefiting from the Stabilisation and Association process. The key aim of these measures is to revitalise the Western Balkan economies through privileged access to the EU market. Economic development is also to foster political stability in the entire region. The trade preferences were granted for a period ending on 31 December 2010 and currently apply to all products originating in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Kosovo. The termination of the trade preferences would take from the beneficiaries an objective economic advantage in their trade with the EU. This could have a very significant negative impact on the overall economic performance of the Western Balkans, with negative repercussions on domestic reform and transition processes in that region. Moreover, their economic recovery could be seriously jeopardised. I welcomed this proposal to extend the validity of the regulation to 31 December 2015."@en1
