"I was unable to vote in favour of this report, as I disagree with the political agenda the European Union requires candidate countries to follow as part of its enlargement policy. Nevertheless, this report contains some very positive aspects, such as the stipulation, for the very first time, that potential candidate countries must meet various social requirements. According to the report, candidate countries will have to comply with the rules set out in the different European Treaties in force as regards social and employment considerations, as well as the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, in order to avoid any form of social dumping. However, at the same time, there is a degree of political vagueness in this report that may cause difficulties with regard to the accession of certain countries. More specifically, in terms of the peaceful resolution of conflicts, the invasion of a territory cannot be classed as a ‘conflict’, meaning that, in the case of Cyprus and Turkey, the European Union’s lack of jurisdiction would become an issue. For that reason, I voted against this report."@en1
