"Mr President, having just led, on behalf of this Parliament, the first Parliamentary Association Committee meeting with the delegation from this Parliament with our counterparts in Georgia, may I firstly start by thanking my Co-Chair and our counterparts in Georgia, and indeed all of my colleagues who played a very full part in all of those Groups that were present for the duration of the meetings that we had there.
It was quite a challenging mission in many ways, but I believe we achieved one thing, and that was to move our relations beyond party political affiliations to a genuinely parliament-to-parliament level, and I think we will serve ourselves well if future resolutions build upon the final statement that we were able to achieve. I thank the Commission for the report on the DCFTA and the Association Agreement.
The next step, of course, must be towards visa liberalisation. In terms of the Georgian people, that is their dream in terms of the immediate future. There is a Russian angle and it sends a very powerful signal to the people of Abkhazia and Ossetia that they must invest in this future direction as well.
We have, of course, elections approaching very soon, and this is where it is essential that Georgia shows its commitment to European values, and that is best demonstrated by their commitment today to media freedoms."@en1
