lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I must repeat once again that our position, the position of the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left, and my personal position, is that FYROM can and must become a member of the European Union, if its people so wish. However, I cannot congratulate Richard Howitt, because I think that there are problematic areas in his motion for a resolution. The first problematic area is the question of the name because, as long as we address this as a bilateral issue, instead of an international problem being addressed in the UN, we are not sending out the right message to the FYROM government to take the steps needed to resolve the problem. As long as this problem is not resolved, whatever anybody says, the FYROM government of the day will be unable to focus on the problems to which my colleagues referred and which need to be addressed in order to get on with the question of its accession to the European Union. Secondly, I do not consider that accession to the European Union has anything to do with whether or not a country belongs to NATO and whether or not it is involved in NATO campaigns. Since when did we think up this new criterion, which basically turns the country into a means of serving US interests in the East? The third problem is that, while FYROM is a country with unemployment and poverty, we are basically recommending – not to say insisting on – the conservative, neoliberal policies that resulted in crisis and will exacerbate these problems. That is why I disagree with Richard Howitt’s motion for a resolution."@en1
