lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, President Saakashvili is a great political survivor. He has presided over two successful terms of office despite the loss of two provinces to Russia in 2008. The President has succeeded in bringing his country closer to the EU, via Association Agreement negotiations, and also to NATO, and he has a strong track record of fighting corruption and encouraging free-market economics. He has wisely appointed as Prime Minister the experienced Vano Merabishvili, who must continue now with the sweeping reforms and westward-looking policies of the current administration. But I do hope there will be a level playing field between billionaire opposition leader Bidzina Ivanishvili, of the Georgian Dream party, and his opponents in the imminent October presidential election. My group, the ECR, has links with the opposition Christian Democratic Party. Democracy is a hard won privilege and must be supported in a small Caucasian country in our EU Eastern Partnership. I also hope there will be a significant long-term EU observation mission presence to ensure free and fair elections in that beautiful country."@en1
