lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this European Parliament resolution because the assessment made by the Commission in its 2011 progress report notes that the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia continues to fulfil the political criteria. The European Parliament regrets that the Council did not follow the Commission’s recommendation for the third consecutive year and did not decide to open the accession negotiations with the country at its meeting on 9 December 2011. The European Parliament also commends the country for its good economic performance and for maintaining macro-economic stability and is delighted that the World Bank ‘Doing Business’ report declared it the third most successful country in the world over the past five years in undertaking regulatory reforms. However, more efforts should be made to avoid abuse of libel actions against journalists for political reasons. Media freedom is the cornerstone of democracy and an imperative for any country aspiring to become an EU Member State. The media sector should elaborate and implement high professional standards for journalists and adhere to the rules of ethics in journalism. Furthermore, the European Parliament calls on all stakeholders to promote and contribute to the development of an independent, pluralist, multi-ethnic, multicultural and non-partisan civil society within the country."@en1
