"The third consecutive political crisis in Ukraine was probably the reason why the historic second EU-Ukraine Summit that took place in Paris at the beginning of September did not reach more ambitious conclusions concerning the Russia-Georgia conflict. I appreciate that the European Union again declared its support for building civil society and for pro-democratic changes in Ukraine. I also have a positive opinion on the agreement to begin a ‘visa dialogue’ that should, in the long run, result in a visa-free regime between both sides, as well as on the fact that, in spite of the new political crisis, Ukraine’s road towards EU membership stays open. Today no one has any doubt that the Orange Revolution changed the historical direction in which Ukraine was going. Now Ukraine must show that it is stable and united. This is its only chance to achieve a European perspective. I am convinced that we can strengthen freedom at home only if we protect it outside the EU borders as well. This is the reason why I will take part in the 11th session of the European Parliament’s delegation to Ukraine on 2/3 October 2008 in Kiev and Jalta. I believe that the presence of representatives of the European Parliament in Ukraine will contribute towards calming the situation and towards political stability in Ukraine."@en1
