European Parliament Rejects Key Amendment in Macedonia Resolution
Strasbourg, France – The European Parliament has adopted a resolution concerning the integration process of Macedonia, following a session held on July 6, 2022. The resolution addresses ongoing discussions surrounding the country’s path toward European membership. A key element of the debate centered on Amendment 3, proposed by Thomas Vajt, the rapporteur for Macedonia.
The amendment was intended to represent a significant advancement within the 73rd resolution. However, the proposal ultimately failed to gain support, receiving 126 votes in favor and 338 against. Despite this setback, the European Parliament reaffirmed the validity of the referenda related to the Second Protocol to the Treaty on good neighborliness between Macedonia and Bulgaria.
This protocol remains a crucial component of the bilateral relationship. The session’s broader agenda included a vote on designating “green” labels for investments in gas and nuclear energy projects. The European Parliament’s decision reflects continued efforts to promote sustainable energy sources within the European Union.
This resolution highlights the ongoing complexities involved in Macedonia’s integration process and the continued dialogue between European institutions and the country.
