"Mr President, enlargement policies and criteria must be tailored to the needs of the candidate and potential candidate countries, and also to the needs of their citizens, as well as responding to the criteria and principles of the Union. Therefore, it is important to pay greater attention to the reform of the judiciary and the fight against corruption and fraud at an early stage. This is why I welcome the Commission’s decision to open Chapters 23 and 24 early on in the accession process and to work on the basis of concrete, detailed benchmarks. Also, a lesson learned is that enforcement is the key to fulfilling these conditions. To remain credible, the accession process must be merit-based, tailored, benchmark-driven and transparent.
The High-Level Accession Dialogue with Macedonia is a good initiative, but this does not and should not replace the accession process. We are to judge Macedonia on its merits; the country surely deserves to start the accession negotiations now."@en1
