Other Activities
The Joint Parliamentary Committee EU-Republic of Macedonia has been established by a Resolution of the European Parliament on 10 March 2004, as well as by a Decision of the Assembly of the Republic of Macedonia of 7 December 2004 for Setting up a Delegation of the Assembly of the Republic of Macedonia to the Stabilization and Association Parliamentary Committee, on the basis of the Stabilization and Association Agreement of the Republic of Macedonia (Article 114 in particular). The Assembly of the Republic of Macedonia has a Co-Chair, two Vice-Chairs and fourteen members in the Committee. The establishment of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) is a result of the determination of our country for a fully-fledged membership in the EU, as well as through a parliamentary dialogue to contribute to the Euro-integration process and the fulfilment of European standards. JPC is forum where members of the Assembly of the Republic of Macedonia and the European Parliament can exchange experiences, opinions and positions that will strengthen their mutual partnership. The Committee, as a bilateral body that differentiates Republic of Macedonia from other countries in the so called Western Balkans, is an official and efficient strengthening and upgrade of relations and the cooperation, at a higher level, of the Assembly of the Republic of Macedonia and the European Parliament. The basic goal of the JPC is to consider all aspects of relations between the Republic of Macedonia and the EU, and the implementation of the Stabilization and Association Agreement in particular. On a proposal of the Bureau of the Joint Parliamentary Committee, recommendations may be issued to the Assembly and the Government of the Republic of Macedonia, to the Council of the European Union and to the European Commission. JPC meets twice a year - once in the Assembly of the Republic of Macedonia and once in the European Parliament. The sessions of the Joint Parliamentary Committee end with adoption of a Final Statement, which in fact is a document containing the common position on some topical issues.
