"I voted in favour of this report because it is important to recognise Georgia as a European state and base the EU’s commitment and ongoing negotiations with Georgia on a European perspective. It is also important to ensure that there is public support for reforms which could further strengthen Georgia’s commitment to shared values and the principles of democracy, the rule of law, human rights and good governance. We should emphasise the importance of inter-ethnic and religious tolerance. We should also welcome the recent law adopted by the Georgian Parliament on the registration of religious organisations and positive measures adopted by the Georgian Government in the area of education aimed at better integration of national minorities. Georgia has also made clear progress in the area of reforms, including strengthening local institutions, particularly the Georgian Ombudsman’s Office, the fight against corruption, the reform of the judiciary, as well as economic reforms and liberalisation. We should also call on the Georgian Government to promote free media, freedom of expression and media pluralism. It is important to allow the media to report independently and objectively without political and economic pressure. We also have to ensure credible and efficient implementation of measures to protect journalists, the transparency of media ownership, particularly as regards broadcast media, and free access to public information."@en1
