"Since Macedonia has exhibited a good economic performance, we can reasonably assume that it is able to maintain its macro-economic stability. It is also the third most successful country in the world over the past five years in undertaking regulatory reforms. As a result of the global economic recovery, foreign direct investment is likely to increase over the next few years and the potential for investment, trade and economic development remains a decisive argument for pursuing the country’s accession to the EU. I am of the opinion that the genuine progress made by the government and the implementation of EU reforms can help to create a political environment which will promote the resolution of bilateral issues. I disapprove of the lack of equality for women and the many discriminatory customs and stereotypes in the country. I also share the Commission’s view, however, that corruption remains a serious concern. On the other hand, I am hopeful that the pre-accession process and the ongoing efforts to combat corruption will help to reduce corruption levels. For these reasons, I have voted in favour of this report."@en1
