The name issue has consumed much political energy lately.
Unfortunately, owing to the amendments adopted, the report on the name issue has been overthrown.
On the name issue, the report does not criticise either of the two sides.
Let me send out a clear message:I call on our fellow Members from Greece finally to give ground on the name issue.
The name issue is a purely bilateral question, even if the UN has given its help in this respect.
In relation to amendment 13 on the name issue negotiations, we voted against this amendment.
I have the impression that the government in Skopje has rightly seen our recommendation as an encouragement to finally settle the name issue with Greece.
For this reason, I expect the name issue to be resolved clearly and definitively in the course of a five-minute discussion.
As was pointed out during the debate,there is now a window of opportunity to resolve the name issue, and I am fully committed to supporting the ongoing talks.
I very much hope that the name issue will indeed be resolved in the near future, and before the judgment of the International Court of Justice, which is awaited in the autumn.
We also hope that the new Greek Government will find a solution to the name issue so that Macedonia can receive a date for starting negotiations by this year.
However, I call upon the government and political forces of FYROM to look to the future andmake the necessary effort to find a mutually acceptable solution to the name issue.
I would like to invite both parties to solve the name issue in an open and generous European style, as advocated yesterday by President Barroso.
Although the report contains many parts that clearly set out the progress Macedonia has made, it is totally unacceptable how,at the very last minute, Greek politicians have lobbied against the paragraph on the name issue.
To preserve a negotiating position on the name issue we must avoid any temptation to use FYROM's naming as a hurdle to its involvement in international institutions.
The most notable expression of this was the wish to delete the reference to the 1995 Interim Accord in which Greece gave its assurance that the name issue would not be an obstacle to Macedonia's membership of international institutions.
With regard to the name issue, I agree with the rapporteur's stance, namely, that Greece and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia must step up their efforts at the highest level to find a mutually acceptable solution under the auspices of the UN.
The Council will also continue to encourage both sides torenew their efforts constructively, so that in the negotiations under the auspices of the United Nations a mutually acceptable solution regarding the name issue could be achieved.
I refer to the report on FYROM in which,where the rapporteur does not unilaterally resolve the name issue, as in paragraph 17, he systematically avoids stating that the solution is being sought and must be sought within the UN.
May I remind you that Greece agreed to FYROM being awarded the status of accession candidate subject,of course, to the proviso in COM(2007)663 that a mutually acceptable solution to the name issue be found through negotiations.
That is simply unacceptable, butI do not want to give anybody the option to vote against this amendment on human rights because of the name issue with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, so I ask to change'Macedonian Government' to'Government of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
I therefore gladly voted in favour of this report, and I believe that we should emphasise two points in particular: firstly, we want the Council and the Commission to tell us this year when accession negotiations are to begin and, secondly, we will not tolerate any bilateral troublemaking, anddefinitely not with regard to this bizarre name issue.
I would like this Parliament andthe new Commission to try and contribute with a solution to the name issue, not by stimulating the nationalistic tendencies of the FYROM Government, but by supporting the Greek view, which fights for a gentle compromise that would, finally, seem to satisfy the people of FYROM more than the people of Greece.
Now an even shorter question:do you believe that the naming issue between Macedonia and Greece is a bilateral issue, and can a bilateral issue have an impact on accession negotiations?
There is certainly a great deal still to do, but when the naming issue continually hangs over everything like the Sword of Damocles it is difficult to move on in other areas of policy.
I therefore welcome the report andthe rapporteur's efforts in ensuring that the naming issue did not dominate the document.
