OLLI REHN: REFERENCE FYROM IS
AWKWARD
The reference FYROM is awkward, Euro-enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn said
Wednesday at the European Parliament, according to the report of MIA's
special correspondent from Brussels.
- The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is a candidate country (for the
EU membership) and I believe that the bilateral problem between this country
and Greece will be solved soon, so that we will no longer have to use this
awkward name, Rehn said.
Rehn responded to a question of EP member, who made a joke proposing
Macedonia to be named "Future European Republic of Macedonia" instead of
FYROM.
Rehn was unwilling to comment launching of a date for Macedonia's EU entry
talks.
- Macedonia should above all learn the rules of the democratic game, namely
the political consensus that will result in completion of the necessary
judicial, public administration reforms, Rehn said.
SAMAK: CLIMATE OF INTEREST TO
INVEST IN MACEDONIA SLOWLY CREATED IN BRITAIN
Macedonian Minister of Foreign Investments Vele Samak paid a two-day visit
to Great Britain and held talks in London and Liverpool with businessmen and
potential partners for investment in Macedonian economy.
Expressing satisfaction from the talks during his stay in Britain, Minister
Samak in the statement for MIA said that climate of interest of the British
business circles to invest in Macedonia is being slowly created.
- British, like other Europeans, are mostly interested in financial benefits
which our country offers, for transportation infrastructure, for labour
force and the work of our private sector, Minister Samak stated.
He said that one can not sit in Skopje and wait someone to come and to offer
money to invest in our economy, especially that Macedonia has not been
presented so far as investment zone in our region.
- In Liverpool, we have presented Macedonian possibilities and advantages
before the people from the British car industry, Samak said, revealing that
the work for entering of the English company Johnson Matthey in Macedonia
faces final realisation. It is about construction of autocatalyst factory,
which would be located in Free Economic Zone Bunardzik.
Johnson Matthey with this product holds over 30% of the world market and the
facility in Macedonia could become the largest outside Britain.
- Our country is the most serious candidate for this large and important
investment which will hire 300 workers and is expected to be finalised in
June, Minister Vele Samak stated for MIA.
During his visit to Britain, Minister Samak participated at the meeting of
the home car chamber with investors of Eastern Europe, which is the first
Macedonian presence at such meeting in Britain. Samak also visited the
Jaguar and Land Rover plants.
In London he also met the British Petroleum's officials and they discussed
the entrance of BP in Macedonia and opening gas stations. |
