lpv:translated text	"Macedonia was the first country in the Western Balkans to be granted the status of candidate country for EU membership. Furthermore, the integration process has more support there from society than in any other country in the region. The outcome of the recent parliamentary elections and the rapid formation of a government are important factors encouraging the EU to begin talks with Macedonia about membership. A serious obstacle to the commencement of negotiations is the continued dispute with neighbouring Greece over the name of the country. We are convinced that this dispute should be brought to an end and that on the one hand, Macedonia should be given a chance to begin negotiations, but, on the other hand, we need to help it not to support its own ethnic and cultural identity at the cost of its neighbours. The healthy development of the economy and the legal basis of its operation are to be welcomed. As with every country which is going through a period of change and laying the foundations of its own statehood, Macedonia is experiencing difficulties with unemployment, social exclusion and corruption. I am convinced that opening negotiations on EU membership will allow the acceleration of beneficial changes which will meet with the approval of Macedonian society. Therefore, I support adoption of the report and the resolution on this matter."@en1
