"Mr President, I voted for this report, along with the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, for several reasons. I believe that, apart from the progress made by Georgia and the enthusiasm with which this country has intended to embrace European values by accepting the association agreement, we must acknowledge that European values are viable in the Caucasus region, and in Central Asia for that matter. Since Georgia has followed the way that European democracy has been formed, it has adopted good practices from Europe and clearly intends to embark on a European path. I would like to stress that this very brave and objective report shows that Georgia is still an occupied country, but it also underlines Georgia’s European destiny, including within the limits stipulated in Article 49 of the Treaty.
This is why I believe that the negotiations, which Georgia is going to have to start on the Free Trade Agreement, are crucial. I welcomed the decision made by Georgia, which, although it is involved in a conflict with Russia, supports Russia gaining access to the World Trade Organisation, thereby proving that Georgia’s inclination is towards peace and seeking solutions aimed at resolving the serious problems in the unresolved conflict in Ossetia and Abkhazia."@en1
