Hoon is currently on a visit to the Western Balkans where he is advocating eventual membership of the European Union and NATO as the best guarantee of stability and prosperity for the countries in the region and their citizens.
"I welcome the work by Commissioner Rehn and his team. I fully support the need for the EU to stand by the commitments it has already made to Turkey and the Western Balkans," Hoon said commenting on the report.
"The British Government has long championed enlargement, which has brought stability and prosperity not only to new Member States but has been hugely beneficial to existing ones," he added.
The British official stressed that every accession was an important step in reinforcing European stability, particularly so in regions that have recently suffered from conflict.
"I am also looking forward to the further and deeper co-operation that enlargement will bring on issues that affect our citizen's quality of life such as organised crime and illegal immigration," he concluded.
