While the European Union congratulates the people of Georgia on the free and fair parliamentary elections of 1 October 2012 and welcomes the democratic transfer of power, we must remain fully committed to Georgia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. We must not forget that the Georgian territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia are still de facto occupied by the Russian armed forces and that, despite the agreement signed in 2008 by the Russian Federation, access for the EU Monitoring Mission to these territories remains hindered. The resolution on the elections in Georgia adopted today calls on Russia to withdraw its troops from Abkhazia and South Ossetia. It also stresses the need for Georgia’s new government to maintain the country’s engagement in the Geneva International Discussions on Security and Stability in the South Caucasus. The European Parliament expects the new government to continue cooperation with the EU and NATO, in line with the expressed commitments on the incoming government’s part. As someone who witnessed the devastation of the war of 2008, I believe that Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic integration is a strong guarantee of the country’s security and stability. Therefore I supported today’s resolution on Georgia."@en1
