"Madam President, the macro-financial assistance proposed by the Commission for Georgia, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia is certainly a step in the right direction. However, the scope of this assistance falls far short of what is needed. I am thinking especially of Georgia, which is to receive EUR 46 million. In the context of the real problems which the country is having to face, the economic crisis and also the problems resulting from the war with Russia, which has significantly weakened the impetus of economic development in Georgia, that assistance is certainly not very great. For we must remember that countries like Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan are not only important countries for the European Union from a political perspective, but are also strategic in terms of energy security. For it is these countries which are going to decide, and are also already deciding, what the diversification of supply of power sources to the European Union will be like in the future. If we do not support them financially and politically today, if we do not give them the chance to develop, then Russia will do this quickly, because these countries have extremely important and strategic significance for Russia. Therefore, I evaluate the Commission proposal as constructive and good. However, the level of financial support is significantly too low."@en1
