Slovenia: membership application and partnership, 10 June 1996

The Committee has adopted a report on the progress made towards accession by Slovenia. Overall, while the report draw attention to the remaining problems, it welcomes the progress achieved. However, it also stresses that the reforms being made must be accompanied by measures to alleviate social consequences. The rapporteur on Slovenia, Roberto SPECIALE (PES, I), acknowledges the continued commitment of the Slovene authorities to strengthening ties with the EU but deplores the lack of progress on adopting the acquis communautaire in particularly sensitive areas.�
