Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I make that general political point in the context of my assessment of the importance of moving ahead with the stabilisation and association agreement, which has experienced several setbacks since it was first negotiated in 2005.

I have attended European Council meetings at which Mr. Brammertz made presentations. The last of these was in June, when he made a positive assessment of Serbia's co-operation with the ICTY. He also made a positive assessment at the previous meeting.
