"I voted against the report on the negotiations of the EU-Georgia Association Agreement. In itself, an association agreement could bring advantages, since it has the scope to consider regulatory aspects of the neighbouring country and therefore bring about changes to its legislation such that the risk of social and economic dumping to the detriment of European enterprises would be reduced. However, there are at least two aspects that convinced me to vote against the report. Firstly, the possibility, hinted at in a passage of the report, of a ‘European’ perspective being opened up in the future to Georgia, a country that has, for years, been in an extremely delicate domestic and international situation, having within it two small republics that are essentially autonomous, but not recognised as such by most of the international community. Secondly, the possibility that the association agreement could smooth the way for negotiations on visa liberalisation is of some concern. For these two reasons, which are anything but minor, I voted against the report."@en1
