In his statement to the press, Mr Pahor said that the participants of the meeting were today very close to reaching an agreement on Mr Rehn's proposal. However, in order to make a final decision, additional consideration and consultation on certain open issues would be required. "It is our ambition that these decisions will form a solid basis for Slovenia's position towards Commissioner Rehn's proposal and have therefore decided to allow a few more days to consider certain open issues," said the Prime Minister, adding that it was quite possible that Slovenia would communicate its amendments to Brussels as early as next week.
