We provide policy advice and political support for UK businesses operating, or seeking to operate, in Macedonia, and enjoy good cooperation with the Macedonian Government on this front. For example, we run periodic \u2018British Business Forums\u2019 that connect businesses directly with Macedonian institutions, resulting in closer cooperation and opportunities for companies to raise concerns directly with the Macedonian government.<\/p>
The Embassy has also conducted targeted interventions in support of British business. For example we have tackled corruption/bureaucracy that was blocking a major British company from accessing the market, and have successfully lobbied against protectionist legislation that prevented another British company from repatriating its revenue.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/15", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir David Lidington"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Aylesbury"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr David Lidington"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-09-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-09-01T13:20:22.9449402Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-07-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Macedonia"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps the Government is taking to improve trade relations with the Republic of Macedonia.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1447", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Rosindell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Romford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Andrew Rosindell"} ], "uin" : "206950"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/79358", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/79358/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "The tragic loss of life on Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 has brought into sharp focus the consequences of Russia\u2019s destabilisation of eastern Ukraine.

The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) and other Ministers are in regular contact with international partners about the tragic crash of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 in Ukraine.<\/p>
On 18 July the Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron) spoke with President Obama about the MH17 incident. They discussed their respective assessments of the incident and agreed that an independent investigation was necessary. They agreed that all countries should engage to ensure that pro-Russian separatists granted investigators secure and unhindered access to the crash site and that those responsible must be held to account.<\/p>
The Prime Minister spoke again to President Obama on 28 July, in a joint call with Chancellor Merkel of Germany, President Hollande of France and Prime Minister Renzi of Italy. The discussion focussed on the international response to the MH17 disaster and Russia\u2019s ongoing efforts to destabilise Ukraine.<\/p>
The UK and US joined other G7 nations in a joint statement issued on 30 July which condemned the tragic downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 and the deaths of 298 innocent civilians and demanded a prompt, full, unimpeded and transparent international investigation into the incident.<\/p>

Since talks resumed on 11 February 2014, the two communities have engaged in substantive negotiations. Both sides now have a much better sense of each other\u2019s positions and concerns, and they have begun seeking the common ground in a number of areas. The parties have expressed a wish to intensify their efforts in the months ahead.<\/p>
We welcome the leaders\u2019 commitment to reach a comprehensive settlement as soon as possible. Their level of ambition, Turkey\u2019s engagement, and the recognition of the political and economic benefits all mean that a successful solution is possible through this round of talks. No-one should underestimate the scale of the potential challenges ahead, but there has been no better time in recent years to achieve a lasting solution. Given those prospects, we are encouraging the two sides to begin building public support for a comprehensive settlement.<\/p>
We have been active in supporting the UN-facilitated talks. I recently invited the two chief negotiators to London, and was struck by their seriousness and determination to reach an agreement.<\/p>

I wrote to the organisers of the petition on 15 January 2014. I understand the strength of feeling for the return of the Varosha area of Famagusta. The present state of that once-bustling town and nearby port reflects the consequences of the continued division of Cyprus.<\/p>

The Government strongly condemns Russia\u2019s illegal annexation of Crimea which violates the UN Charter and is illegal under international law. The UK co-sponsored UN General Assembly Resolution 68/262 on the "Territorial Integrity of Ukraine", which was adopted on 27 March 2014 with 100 votes in favour and only 11 against. This result delivered a resounding international condemnation of Russian actions in Crimea and made clear Russia\u2019s isolation in the Security Council and in the international community.
G7 leaders issued a statement on 4 June which affirmed G7 countries\u2019 non-recognition of Russia\u2019s illegal annexation of Crimea and condemned the unacceptable interference in Ukraine\u2019s sovereign affairs by the Russian Federation. G7 Leaders confirmed the decision by G7 countries to impose sanctions on individuals and entities who had actively supported or implemented the violation of Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity and who were threatening the peace, security and stability of Ukraine. They underlined their implementation of a strict policy of non-recognition with respect to Crimea/Sevastopol, in line with UN General Assembly Resolution 68/262.<\/p>
The EU has regularly condemned Russian actions in Crimea and eastern Ukraine and supported action including the imposition of travel bans and asset freezes on 72 individuals and the sanctioning of two entities; the cancellation of the EU-Russia Summit; agreement not to hold bilateral summits; and a decision to block Russian membership of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and International Energy Agency.<\/p>
On 16 July, and in line with the EU\u2019s policy of non-recognition of the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol, the Prime Minister and other EU Leaders requested the European Commission and the European External Action Service to present proposals for additional measures on restricting investments in Crimea and Sevastopol. The European Council also asked the International Financial Institutions to refrain from financing any projects that explicitly or implicitly recognised the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol.<\/p>

The situation in eastern Ukraine is of grave concern. As the Prime Minister recently discussed with President Obama, Chancellor Merkel and President Hollande, Russia still needs to take steps towards de-escalation including support for a ceasefire; release of all hostages; and preventing the transit of weapons and fighters across the Russia-Ukraine border.<\/p>
The tragic incident involving Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 underlines the seriousness of the situation.
