Institution building is indeed a very basic element for progress and reform in these countries. However, I hope that the honourable Member understands that institution building also has to do with internal efforts by each country to respond to the needs of reform. A programme such as TACIS or any programme can, at most, have an auxiliary role in this direction. I cannot give an answer straight away as to whether it will be intensified from the economic point of view. I gladly reserve the right to reply in writing.
As far as the Caucasus is concerned, the Presidency has noted the particular importance of the countries in the Caucasus and the need for us to develop our cooperation and our relations with these countries. However, these countries have a great many problems and closer rapprochement with the countries in the Caucasus is a long-term plan, I believe, in the Union's foreign policy. I trust that this effort will be made by successive Presidencies, just as we have made certain moves in this direction during our Presidency, because we really do believe it is of value."@en1
