"This report concerns the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 creating the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance, whose purpose is guiding the practices of countries wishing to accede to the European Union. With a view to this progressive alignment, the regulation makes a distinction between ‘candidate countries’ and ‘potential candidate countries’; that is, between those nearing accession and those which still have some distance to go. Iceland and Montenegro requested accession to the European Union on 17 June and 17 December 2010, respectively, and the Council decided, on the basis of the Commission’s opinion, that accession negotiations should begin as soon as the conditions set out at the 1993 European Council in Copenhagen were met, when they would merit the status of ‘candidate countries’. I am therefore voting for the amendments to Council Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 intended to clarify the rules on entering into subsidy agreements under the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (cross-border cooperation) and to ensure its compatibility with the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument."@en1
