"Georgia is one of the five countries taking an active part in the Eastern Partnership Programme. It is also a country that is introducing, with huge determination and a lot of success, a range of democratic reforms, especially in the sphere of combating corruption, changes in the judicial system and liberalisation of the economy whereby an important emphasis is placed on making life easier for enterprises. This process has not been inhibited even when the Russian army invaded the Georgian territory; it has not been impeded by what amounts to occupation of the Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Under these circumstances the Georgians managed to adopt their own peaceful strategy towards the occupied regions and have unilaterally undertaken a commitment to refrain from the use of violence regarding this issue. Moreover, Georgia – despite an absence of direct diplomatic relations with Russia – completed negotiations on the latter’s accession to the World Trade Organisation and did not block its access. Georgia is an important partner for the European Union in the South Caucasus. Recommendations have been adopted today with all this in mind and will certainly serve to expedite the completion of negotiations on the association agreement and a more comprehensive trade agreement. That is why I voted in favour of these recommendations."@en1
