"Madam President, Commissioner, Mr Swoboda’s report on the Stability Pact for South-East Europe has two essential objectives, one being to make the Stability Pact more stable, and the other to take Parliament’s views into account and involve it in the process of appointing the special coordinator. On this I am in full agreement with Mr Swoboda. Hitherto, the Coordinator has been appointed for only six months at a time, but now he is to hold office for a year. We regard this as progress. Parliament’s involvement in the appointment process as a budgetary and political authority is also to be welcomed. It would be desirable if this process of appointing the coordinator of the Stability Pact each year were to be a speedy one, and what the Commissioner has said leads me to believe that there is the will to make it so. In every instance, the parliamentary dimension must be built up, and in saying that I am referring not only to the European Parliament, but also and especially to the regional parliaments in the countries to which the Stability Pact applies. We can never do enough to involve members of the regional parliaments in the important work of stabilising the Western Balkans. The Stability Pact and its present coordinator Erhard Busek have already had a great effect – something that has been noted with appreciation, and rightly so – on both trade and investment, or in the use of several infrastructural measures to combat crime. Much, though, remains to be done, and I believe that the Swoboda report, to the content of which we will be giving our full support tomorrow, will make an important contribution to this."@en1
