COMMUNIQUE
Following Croatian media reporting regarding EU Commissioner Rehn's interpretation concerning the Ecological and Fisheries Protection Zone, the EC Delegation issues the following communiqué :
'The document to which Commissioner Rehn was referring to, are agreed minutes of a trilateral meeting Italy/Slovenia/Croatia which took place in Brussels on 4 June 2004. It was signed at State Secretary level by the Governments of Italy, Slovenia and Croatia and on behalf of the European Commission by Mr Michael Leigh, then Deputy Director-General of DG Relex.
According to the minutes, Croatia informed the parties on the Parliament Decision of 3 June 2004, i.e. EU MS are excluded from the application of the Ecological and Fisheries Protection Zone until the conclusion of a Fisheries Partnership Agreement between Croatia and the European Community. Croatia confirmed at that meeting that during this period there will be no changes for EU MS.
The Italian and Slovenian State Secretaries welcomed the decision of the Croatian Parliament. All participants agreed to work on a final solution in the spirit of good neighbourly relations, taking into the account the interests of all parties concerned.
The agreed minutes set out a jointly agreed procedure and do include a specific commitment on the application of the Zone. In this respect, it would be detrimental to Croatia's credibility as a reliable partner in the region if it came out now with a unilateral move by activating the Zone.
We believe that the reference to the European Council from June 2004 which conferred candidate status to Croatia is the key one for clear understanding. "The European Council notes the Croatian decision not to apply to EU Member States any aspect of the Ecological and Fisheries protection Zone. In this context, it welcomes the agreement reached by Italy, Slovenia and Croatia at the Trilateral Meeting in Brussels on 4 June 2004."
The Commission believes that all parties concerned should now be working constructively to find a satisfactory solution to this outstanding issue. In this respect the Commission welcomes the talks that have started with the neighbouring countries and looks forward to its successful outcome'.
