"I am in favour of amending Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009. It is absolutely essential, at this time of crisis, to support the economies of developing countries. Granting Western Balkan countries privileged, temporary access to the EU market can mitigate the effects of the economic crisis on this region and therefore assist and accelerate the processes of political stabilisation. Indeed, by amending Regulation (EC) No 1215/2009, trade preferences will be extended until 2015 for almost all products from countries and territories benefiting from the concession. I feel compelled to point out that the Balkans is a region of priority significance in our foreign policy. Its geographical proximity, intertwined security interests, migratory flows and trade are all factors that contribute to the significance of south-eastern Europe. We must be aware that these countries could, in future, have a huge influence over the political and economic stability of the EU. It is therefore imperative to facilitate the economic development of the Balkan regions through this proposal, which will allow trade preferences for these regions to be extended and therefore bring political stability to the entire region."@en1
