"There is a fundamental contradiction in the European Commission’s proposal to grant further financial assistance to Georgia: it was the Commission itself that pointed out that Georgia’s economy was recovering after the conflict with Russia three years ago, thereby insinuating that there was no need to ‘assist’ the Georgian Government with further funds to help the national economy in addition to those already provided in recent years. It is therefore not clear why the Georgian Government asked for more money, nor why the Commission immediately started working to mobilise nearly EUR 50 million. Given the internal political situation in Georgia and issues of legality and transparency in that country, we have no assurances that it will be well spent.
I voted against the legislative resolution which allows Parliament to grant EUR 46 million to the Georgian Government. There are many economic, financial and employment-related problems in Europe and there are many areas which are forced to deal with crisis situations for which the institutions could do much more. The Commission should move first of all to focus all possible efforts on solving the problems of our citizens."@en1
