Qualitative Overview 3.1 High Level Accession Dialogue In the first quarter of 2012, the start of the High Level Accession Dialogue (HLAD) between Macedonia and the European Union was the topic that received greatest coverage and commentary. At the start of the reporting period, the media reported that Stefan Füle announced the start of the HLAD process for the coming spring at a meeting of the Stabilisation and Association Council6, and announced that the discussion will focus on the issues of “freedom of expression, rule of law, reforms of the public administration, electoral process and the fight against corruption”.7 The media carried Füle's views on the process: “This should provide new support to our relations and shall enhance our cooperation on the five priority areas that I mentioned. In one of those areas, the rule of law, we shall use the momentum created by the new proposal by the Commission on Chapters 23 and 24, referring to fundamental rights, the judiciary, justice, freedom and security and we can start the technical consultations referring to issues covered by those two important chapters”8 and the view of the Deputy Prime Minister for European Integrations Teuta Arifi: “We believe that this process, together with the high-level dialogue, offers a fine future for the relations between Macedonia and EU, which we shall witness this spring".9 The journalists’ comments ranged from the notion that the dialogue was "yet another semantic novelty used by EU in the case of Macedonia"10, to the comment that it was just a "mechanism intended to show that Macedonia's progress on the road to EU was not arrested", i.e. a "consolation formula that should replace the start of negotiations date".11 Some media saw the dialogue as “enhanced oversight and control over the most criticized policies in the country" and "institutionalised form of pressure"12. The media also carried the comment by the Chairwoman of the National Council for European Integrations Radmila Šekerinska: “The HLAD is a dialogue that should lead to resolution of the problems aimed to prevent Macedonia from deviating from the European train. That is not a monitoring or a scanning process, having in mind that the scanning is not done on political level but is conducted by the technical services and offices".13 Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski offered his own views on the dialogue: “The country practically receives a higher level treatment, makes a step forward. Although Greece blocks us from starting official negotiations, which we really deserve, this is, nevertheless, a step forward".14 The Secretariat for European Affairs (SEA) holds similar opinions and commented that the 6 MTV1, January 24, 2012 7 Plusinfo.mk, January 24, 2012 8 Sky.mk, January 24, 2012 9 Večer, January 25, 2012 10 Nova Makedonija, January 26, 2012 11 Vest, January 25, 2012 12 Utrinski vesnik, 13 Fokus daily January 26, 2012 14 Kurir, February 17, 2012 5 dialogue was “a sign that Brussels seeks a way to push the screening process in Macedonia quietly forward”15, i.e. an “informal and yet substantial dialogue that will first open Chapters 23 and 24, on internal affairs, the judiciary, media, fight against corruption and elections”16 and which will “bypass the blockade and shorten the period of the negotiations for membership”.17 The media carried other comments coming from SEA: “Clearly, we have a problem, but the process of EU accession is not a process that will conclude immediately, even if we resolved the name-dispute tomorrow. We therefore sought a possible form and, although we don’t name it as such, this is really a screening process”18, as well as the opinions of unnamed sources in the Government who noted that: “This is not the same form of negotiations that applied to the other countries, but in reality, this dialogue is replacement for the commonly used form”.19 The general public was also informed by, again, unnamed sources in SEA, that the dialogue was launched on an initiative of the Macedonian Government which sought "a creative approach from EU to Macedonia, i.e. a revival of the process to allow the country to move forward".20 Regarding the topics that will be discussed, the pro-Government media reported that the first meeting, on March 15, will “first open the Chapters 23 and 24, referring to internal affairs, the judiciary, the media and the elections”21, and the whole process means that “Macedonia does actually, albeit informally, open the most difficult Chapters 23 and 24”.22 The media reported that the dialogue will be led by Nikola Gruevski and Stefan Füle.23 At the same time, the media covered the visit by Deputy Prime Minister Teuta Arifi to Brussels, where she discussed "the next steps in terms of fulfilment of criteria", and discussed the reform action plan for Macedonia with the Director-General of the Directorate General for Enlargement Stefano Sannino.24 Again, the media reported that the dialogue was, in fact, “a screening process that will formally not be considered or named as such”.25 On the eve of the opening of HLAD process, the media reminded the public that in addition to "the rule of law, freedom of expression and freedom of press, reforms of electoral system and public administration", the ethnically motivated incidents that took place in the country will be added as a priority topic of discussion.26 Some commentators noted that the HLAD process was announced by Jose Barroso as early as March 2011 and asked: “Is Füle coming in an impossible mission to reason with the whole Government, and especially Prime Minister Gruevski and get them back on track? Is he truly honest, or is that just a mere 15 Dnevnik, March 3, 2012 16 Nova Makedonija, March 3, 2012 17 Vest, March 3, 2012 18 Večer, March 3, 2012 19 Nova Makedonija, March 6, 2012 20 Telma TV, March 2, 2012 21 Kurir, March 2, 2012 22 Sitel TV, March 2, 2012 23 Plusinfo.mk, March 2, 2012 24 Telma TV, March 2, 2012 25 Alfa TV, March 2, 2012 26 Fokus, March 15, 2012 6 declaration, that Macedonia will join EU sooner or later”.27 The media reported that the dialogue was debated at the National Council for European Integrations (NCEI).28 After the opening of the HLAD process and the Füle-Gruevski meeting, the media reported that they discussed the “freedom of the media, rule of law, reforms of the administration, electoral reforms

    IP/09/1867 Brussels, 2 December 2009 Copenhagen conference must produce global, ambitious and comprehensive agreement to avert dangerous climate change The European Commission today underlined the crucial importance of reaching a global, ambitious and comprehensive climate agreement at the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen on 7-18 December. The European Union will be working to achieve maximum progress towards finalisation of an ambitious and legally binding global climate treaty to succeed the Kyoto Protocol in 2013. The conference must settle the key political elements of the treaty and set up a process and mid-2010 deadline for completing the full text. The Copenhagen agreement must also incorporate a 'fast start' deal allowing for immediate implementation or preparation of certain actions, including financial assistance to least developed countries. Commission President José Manuel Barroso and Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas will both participate in the conference, as will some 90 other world leaders. President Barroso said: "In Copenhagen world leaders must take the bold decisions needed to stop climate change from reaching the dangerous and potentially catastrophic levels projected by the scientific community. We must seize this chance to keep global warming below 2°C before it is too late. But Copenhagen is also an historic opportunity to draw the roadmap to a global low-carbon society, and in so doing unleash a wave of innovation that can revitalise our economies through the creation of new, sustainable growth sectors and "green collar" jobs. The European Union has set the pace with our unilateral commitment to cut emissions 20% by 2020 and our climate financing proposals for developing countries.

  • The History of the Macedonian Textile
    OCCASIONAL PAPER N. 8 TTHHEE HHIISSTTOORRYY OOFF TTHHEE MMAACCEEDDOONNIIAANN TTEEXXTTIILLEE IINNDDUUSSTTRRYY WWIITTHH AA FFOOCCUUSS OONN SSHHTTIIPP Date: November 29th, 2005 Place: Skopje, Macedonia Introduction- the Early Beginnings and Developments Until 1945 The growth of the Macedonian textile sector underwent diverse historical and economic phases. This industry is among the oldest on the territory of Macedonia, and passed through all the stages of development. At the end of the 19th century, Macedonia was a territory with numerous small towns with a developed trade, especially in craftsmanship (zanaetchistvo). The majority of the population lived in rural areas, Macedonia characterized as an agricultural country, where most of the inhabitants satisfied their needs through own production of food. The introduction and the further development of the textile industry in Macedonia were mainly induced by the needs of the Ottoman army for various kinds of clothing and uniforms. Another reason for the emerging of the textile sector was to satisfy the needs of the citizens in the urban areas. An important factor for the advancement of this industry at that time was the developed farming, cattle breeding in particular. (stocharstvo). The first textile enterprises were established in the 1880‟s in the villages in the region of Bitola – Dihovo, Magarevo, Trnovo, and their main activity was production of woolen products. Only a small number of cotton products were produced in (zanaetciski) craftsmen workshops. The growth of textiles in this region was natural as Bitola, at that time also known as Manastir, was an important economic and cultural center in the European part of Turkey.[i] At that time the owners and managers of the textile industry were businessmen with sufficient capital to invest their money in industrial production.

  • A Radical Greek Evolution Within the Eurozone
    A radical Greek evolution within the eurozone For John Milios, seen as the most hardline of Alexis Tsipras’s advisers, the country’s humanitarian crisis is the top priority John Milios’s phone rings a lot these days. There are hedge funds and financial institutions and investors, all curious to know what the German-trained professor thinks. As chief economist of Syriza, the far-left party that has sent markets into a tailspin as it edges ever closer to power in Greece, the academic has had a prominent role in devising the group’s financial manifesto. He is the first to concede the programme is radical. “I am a Marxist,” he says. “The majority [in Syriza] are.” Sipping green tea in his favourite Athens cafe, he explains: “Alternative approaches to the economy and society have been excluded by the dominant narrative of neoliberalism.” Milios, who attended Athens College, the country’s most prestigious private school – graduating in the same class as the former prime minister George Papandreou –is part of an eclectic group of experts advising Syriza’s leader, Alexis Tsipras, on the economy. Others include the Oxford-educated Euclid Tsakalotos, the political economist and shipping family heir Giorgos Stathakis, the leftwing veteran Giannis Dragasakis and the Texas-based academic Yanis Varoufakis. If the Athenian parliament fails to elect a new head of state by 29 December, the Greek constitution demands that snap polls are called. The ruling coalition’s narrow majority has made it unlikely that the government’s candidate, Stavros Dimas, will get the presidency. With the radicals in the ascent, Milios and his fellow Marxists are likely to take the reins of the EU’s weakest economy.

  • THE JUNCKER COMMISSION: an Early Assessment
    THE JUNCKER COMMISSION: An Early Assessment John Peterson University of Edinburgh Paper prepared for the 14th Biennial Conference of the EU Studies Association, Boston, 5-7th February 2015 DRAFT: Not for citation without permission Comments welcome [email protected] Abstract This paper offers an early evaluation of the European Commission under the Presidency of Jean-Claude Juncker, following his contested appointment as the so-called Spitzencandidat of the centre-right after the 2014 European Parliament (EP) election. It confronts questions including: What will effect will the manner of Juncker’s appointment have on the perceived legitimacy of the Commission? Will Juncker claim that the strength his mandate gives him license to run a highly Presidential, centralised Commission along the lines of his predecessor, José Manuel Barroso? Will Juncker continue to seek a modest and supportive role for the Commission (as Barroso did), or will his Commission embrace more ambitious new projects or seek to re-energise old ones? What effect will British opposition to Juncker’s appointment have on the United Kingdom’s efforts to renegotiate its status in the EU? The paper draws on a round of interviews with senior Commission officials conducted in early 2015 to try to identify patterns of both continuity and change in the Commission. Its central aim is to assess the meaning of answers to the questions posed above both for the Commission and EU as a whole in the remainder of the decade. What follows is the proverbial ‘thought piece’: an analysis that seeks to provoke debate and pose the right questions about its subject, as opposed to one that offers many answers.

  • 'Greece's New Anti-Austerity Coalition'
    Greece’s new anti-austerity coalition Standard Note: SN07076 Last updated: 28 January 2015 Author: Rob Page and Lorna Booth Section International Affairs and Defence Section/Economic Policy and Statistics Section The recent parliamentary election in Greece was a triumph for the radical left-wing Syriza party, which became the largest party and fell two seats short of an overall majority. It has formed a coalition administration with the small Independent Greeks party, with Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras as Prime Minister. The outgoing government had imposed strict austerity measures in return for bailout loans from the “troika” (European Union, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank). Syriza, by contrast, is often portrayed as anti- austerity and anti-bailout. Some have speculated that the policies of the new Syriza-led administration might ultimately lead to a Greek exit from the Eurozone.
