"Uprkos činjenici da je EU uglavnom radila na svojim unutrašnjim pitanjima, stabilizaciji ekonomije i zajedničke valute, došlo je do vidnog napretka u procesu proširenja" u 2011, izjavio je Fuele za SETimes 29. decembra.
"Despite the fact that the EU was mainly dealing with its internal issues, stabilising economy and the single currency, there was visible progress in the enlargement process" in 2011, Fuele told SETimes on December 29th.
