MEMORANDUM OF BUSINESS
COMMUNITY - EXCELLENT INITIATIVE, PROVING THAT MACEDONIA
MOVES INTO RIGHT DIRECTION
Macedonia's business community promoted Tuesday a Memorandum, which urges
more intensive cooperation with the government and suggests mechanisms for
further economic development of the country.
the Memorandum of the Macedonian Business Community, inter alia, recommends
more efficient use of subventions and EU programmes, improvement of the
public bid procedure, transparency, minimisation of regulations and
bureaucratic obstacles, strengthening the financial market and development
of the crucial economic infrastructure.
The government should accept both recommendations and critiques from the
business community, EU Ambassador to Macedonia Erwan Fouere said at the
promotion.
- The business community's role is of vital importance. Listening of its
suggestions is in favor and responsibility of the government, Fouere said.
The inflow of FDI has been going up in Macedonia, along with the interest in
further investing, French Ambassador Bernard Valero said.
He considers the Memorandum as an excellent opportunity, which proves that
Macedonia has been moving into the right direction. |

MILOSOSKI-WIERSMA: NAME SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN OBSTACLE FOR LAUNCHING
MACEDONIA'S EU ENTRY TALKS
The name dispute should be settled, but not used as an obstacle for
launching Macedonia' EU entry talks, Foreign Minister Antonio Milososki and
member of the European Parliament (EP) Foreign Policy Committee Jan Marinus
Wiersma agreed Tuesday in Brussels.
Macedonia has two priorities for this year, MIA's correspondent quoted
Milososki as saying. To meet the eight benchmarks the European Commission
(EC)'s recommended for the country to meet the standards and get a date for
membership talks, and to fulfil the obligations for acquiring an EU free
visa regime.
- Macedonia will work on convincing EC to recommend launching of the
membership negotiations, Milososki said.
Referring to the Ireland's 'No' to the Lisbon Treaty, Milososki and Wiersma
agreed that the situation should be dealt with and not used as an excuse for
stopping the EU enlargement process.
- EP socialists are for resuming of the enlargement process and the
integration of Macedonia, other countries of the region with EU, Wiersma
said. |
