European Council: 14 December 2007

My Lords, there are some aspects of the Statement that certainly require further clarification. When it is said that the Council agreed on its approach to Kosovo, was that a unanimous decision of all 27 countries, including Cyprus? Secondly, on the question of supervised independence for Kosovo, will that apply to the entire territory of Kosovo, or will it exclude the northern part of Kosovo, in which there is a Serb-Christian majority? Thirdly, the Leader of the House mentioned that the accession of Turkey was discussed in Brussels. What progress was made on that subject?
