"This report continues to put forward a blinkered view still focused on the 2008 conflict between Russia and Georgia and issues of territorial disputes and sovereignty over South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and attempts to create some political justification for taking sides in order to pursue the EU’s economic and geopolitical interests in the Caucasus. At stake are access to major resources in the whole region and guaranteed energy supplies, which is why it is important to conclude this agreement.
A majority in Parliament wants to go even further, opening the door to negotiations over a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area and breaking down all barriers to large capitalist interests from the EU and Georgia. These interests should be seen as underlying the EU’s support, and indeed interference, in Georgia’s internal affairs. The EU thus reveals which side it is on in the power struggle between the United States, NATO and Russia, appointing itself as the defender of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states and of international law, when it comes to Georgia. However, it has promoted, supported and still supports secessionary movements in Europe and in other parts of the world."@en1
