Proceeding contribution from Mike Gapes (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 December 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
The Prime Minister referred to the importance of our relations with the 10 new member states of the European Union, and he will be aware that one of them—Slovakia—will have the presidency of the EU in 2008. Is he also aware that there will be great support in the Balkans generally for the decision to give Macedonia candidate country status? Peace and security in the Balkans is vital for all of us in Europe and without this agreement, it could have been put at risk.
