| Pursuant to the speech of the Commissioner for External Relations, Chris Patten, the EU once more declared its strong commitment that “the future of the Balkans is within the European Union”. The declaration contained a conditional promise. The EU would consider the Western Balkan states for membership, but only if they reached EU standards. The EU was motivated by the usual economic considerations linked to enlargement as well as the desire to increase regional stability. In 2005, the negative results of French and Dutch referendums on the EU Constitution signalled public disapproval of many aspects of EU policy, [including enlargement.] | In 2003 the EU declared that “the future of the Balkans is within the European Union”. The declaration contained a conditional promise. The EU would consider the Western Balkan states for membership, but only if they reached EU standards. The EU was motivated by the usual economic considerations connected to enlargement and also a desire to increase regional stability.
[...] In 2005 the negative results of the French and Dutch referendums on the EU Constitution signalled public disapproval of many aspects of EU policy, including enlargement. Consequently, the enlargement strategy published in 2006 contained a subtle, but highly significant, shift in policy. Accession is now linked to ‘consolidation’ and the ‘integration capacity’ of the EU. This does not undermine the EU’s commitment to honour existing obligations. However, candidates are concerned that under the new strategy successful implementation of reforms may not be sufficient to secure membership. [...] The British Government is a strong supporter of enlargement. It has consistently argued that enlargement is in the strategic interests of the UK and the EU. Following the EU’s change in strategy, the UK cautioned against the erection of barriers designed to impede enlargement. The EU remains publicly committed to offering the Western Balkans EU membership, but the situation is precarious. Any further enlargement is dependent upon institutional reform of the EU, which has become tied to the Constitution. This could cause significant delays because there is still no agreement on how to proceed with the Constitution. |
