"In its statement of 24 November 2003, the European Union welcomed the peaceful solution to the recent crisis in Georgia and confirmed that it is looking forward to working with the new political leaders of that country.
In the meantime, the interim President, Mrs Burjanadze came to Brussels to meet the High Representative, Mr Solana, and the President of the Commission, Mr Prodi. On that occasion, she was assured that the European Union would give the utmost support to Georgia in the coming elections.
As stated by the General Affairs and External Relations Council of 8 December 2003, EU relations with Georgia, like relations with Armenia and Azerbaijan, are firmly based on a long-term commitment to partnership and cooperation. The EU would like to help Georgia and other countries of the Southern Caucasus to consolidate their relations with the European Union.
Finally, I can confirm that the EU has specifically offered Georgia EUR 2 million in special financial assistance to help the country organise the forthcoming elections. The Commission has also accelerated the disbursement of EUR 5 million under the food security programme. Furthermore, some Member States of the EU have, for their part, confirmed that they will provide aid to Georgia."@en1
