lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I should like to thank Mr Solana for his report. The continuing conflict in Georgia concerns us all, because it creates the conditions for the destabilisation of the Caucasus as a whole, with repercussions on the strategic security interests of the European Union and its Member States, the Balkans and the south-eastern Mediterranean and Middle East as a whole. Bearing in mind the energy-related risks in the area, the European Union should immediately take specific initiatives to promote a peaceful resolution to the conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Within this framework, convening an international conference under the aegis of the UN might help in finding a peaceful and diplomatic solution. At the same time, the European Union should work out specific initiatives within the framework of the European neighbourhood policy and make its strategic presence in the area more visible. Strategic planning is required, together with strong economic aid in the form of assistance from the European Investment Bank and preferential trade relations with Georgia and the other countries in the Caucasus. Developments in Georgia also concern Greece, because thousands of citizens of Greek descent live in Georgia in a state of insecurity. Greece has taken important initiatives at bilateral level over recent years to fund infrastructure projects in the sectors of health, education and cultural and educational exchanges, in order to build a democratic civil society. I should like to close by highlighting the crucial role played by Russia in the area. The European Union needs to dynamically integrate relations with the Caucasus into political dialogue with Russia. At the same time, we need to express our constant opposition to the stand of the Putin administration on preventive military intervention, just as we have consistently done on the US doctrine of the Bush administration. This stand jeopardises peace because it feeds conflict, it feeds the vicious circle of terrorism and organised crime."@en1
