"By means of Regulation (EC) No 2007/2000 – subsequently codified, owing to the numerous amendments, by Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009 – 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.
In particular, the aim was to revitalise the Western Balkan economies through granting them privileged access to the EU market, thereby bringing about economic development and fostering political stability in the entire region. The trade preferences which were granted expired on 31 December 2010, and since then the beneficiaries have been deprived of an objective economic advantage which could help sustain the difficult transition and domestic reform processes under way across the entire Balkan region.
I therefore voted in favour of this report since I believe it is right to extend the trade preference concessions until at least 2015. This will alleviate potential negative economic repercussions caused by the economic crisis which could undermine the reform processes under way in these countries."@en1
