"I approve of the Commission proposal for the amendment of Council Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 of 17 July 2006 on three points; these are measures that do not entail additional expenses. The first amendment involves Iceland and Montenegro being moved from the list of potential candidate countries to that of candidate countries. The Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) has always supported the enlargement process in countries of the Western Balkans, while Iceland has already begun accession negotiations as it meets the Copenhagen criteria by far. I agree with the Commission’s second proposal for amendment which would limit participation in the CBC programmes, that is, the cross-border cooperation programmes of the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA), exclusively to local actors. Being a border country of the European Union, it is particularly important to Hungary that participation in tenders is limited to applicants from countries that are involved in the relevant CBC programmes of the IPA. One potential candidate country remains in the neighbourhood of my country, and that is Serbia. I also endorse the third amendment, which was introduced for the purpose of enabling the PHARE Committee to continue to support the Commission in the management of financial assistance granted to the Turkish community of Cyprus."@en1
