"Rehn gives update on EU enlargement process

European Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn has told the European Parliament’s foreign policy committee that he has achieved five out of the six goals that he set for himself before the end of his five-year term in 2009.

Speaking to the committee on September 2 2009, Rehn said that these goals were that in 2009, there would be 27 EU member states; that the accession process with Croatia would reach its final stage; that the other Western Balkan countries would be "firmly anchored into European orientation"; that Turkey would be firmly on the European track; that Kosovo’s status would be settled; and that Cyprus would be re-unified."
