The Committee adopted the report by Mr POSSELT (EPP, D) concerning the decision of the Council to conclude an Additional Protocol to the EU-Slovakia Europe Agreement. The report proposed recommending that the Protocol be concluded. This agreement provided for bilateral cooperation in areas such as research, the environment, education and training, tourism and culture. The report also called on the Commission to ensure that the rule of law was being reinforced and that democratic rights were being respected, particular those of the Hungarian minority. The approval of the Protocol would help strengthen links between the people of Slovakia and the EU. �
