European Parliament
President.
Question No. 3 by Dimitrios Papadimoulis 
Subject: Unilateral recognition by the USA of FYROM as the 'Republic of Macedonia'
One day after the presidential elections, the USA unilaterally and unexpectedly recognised FYROM as the 'Republic of Macedonia', totally ignoring the European Union and Greece. The result of this action is to undermine the dialogue being conducted on the basis of the 'interim agreement', under the auspices of the UN Secretary-General, to find a mutually acceptable name for FYROM.
Given that the European Union supports the process of dialogue on the basis of the 'interim agreement', what measures will the Council take to ensure the effective continuation of that dialogue to find a mutually acceptable solution to the problem?
