lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece will not be voting in favour of this agreement with the FYROM, because it proves yet again that the European Union is endeavouring to get a tighter grip on this country. Economic concessions and promises of accession to the European Union, naturally once it has complied fully with social demands, are a means of ensuring greater penetration of European capital. The report, which cites the decisions taken at Stockholm, basically agrees to treat Albanian extremists posing as negotiators who, as we have seen, have not let up in their criminal activities, and the government of the FYROM on an equal footing. Everyone knows that the famous National Liberation Army, which aspires to be the official negotiator of the Albanian minority, is in fact an offshoot of the KLA. Having set the wolf to guard the lambs, it is up to the High Representative to monitor compliance with the agreement. That is why, in our view, this policy, as set out in the present report, merely adds fuel to the fire raging in the Balkans and offers encouragement to the grand unification plans of the Albanian nationalists. We need to safeguard the right of the people in the area to decide their own future and, if we want to help, it is precisely this sort of intervention and activity which we should refuse to support."@en1
