"Madam President, in contrast to the elections in Belarus, the electoral process in Georgia has demonstrated the country’s growing democratic maturity. Commissioner, I would like to thank you for your timely visit to Georgia and for meeting both sides there.
It is in the EU’s and Georgia’s mutual interest now to make the maximum effort to keep Georgia on its freely chosen course towards Euro-Atlantic integration. Provided that the new government follows up its declarations with deeds, Georgians now have a chance to deepen their democracy. However, we need to remain vigilant, particularly given the powerful role played by money in the election campaign and the fact that the bulk of that money was made in Russia and is connected with the winning party.
I call on the Commission to speed up its efforts to achieve visa liberalisation as soon as possible, to make maximum use of the fact that both Georgia and Russia have now become members of the World Trade Organisation, and strongly to defend Georgia’s territorial integrity, while ensuring that EU observers have access to the occupied territories."@en1
