"I and the ECR Group which I coordinate on the Committee on Foreign Affairs voted today to support the Albertini report on amending the Instrument for Pre-accession. The enlargement of the EU to 27 Member States has been a great success story, although enlargement fatigue has now set in. I am the standing rapporteur of the Parliament for Montenegro and I am pleased that Montenegro and Macedonia have now been moved from potential candidates to candidates for EU membership under IPA. But I deeply regret that at the European Council summit last Friday, in spite of recommendations from the Commission and – in the case of Montenegro – for reasons of domestic politics in a couple of Member States and – in the case of Macedonia – for reasons of the name the country uses to describe itself, which is objected to by Greece, they have still been blocked in Council as candidates from opening negotiations. This is deeply frustrating to their governments and also deeply unfair to their people."@en1
