SOUNDBITE (English), Martin SCHULZ, EP President, I expressed once more the entire support of the European Parliament for the democratic, the economic sustainable development of the country as a strong association partner of the European Union and we discussed in this frame the ongoing process of visa liberalisation, I was very happy to discuss it and to exchange with my colleague the Speaker of the Parliament about the ongoing process with one key element, there are no further requests of the European Union.

SOUNDBITE (English), Martin SCHULZ, EP President, There is more political competition in the country of ideas of how to run and rule the country and this is an encouraging development because it is also a contribution to reduce tensions and to focus on programmatic questions of the future of the country.

SOUNDBITE (English), David USUPASHVILI, Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, When we spoke about the visa liberalisation I was glad to hear once again that there is no additional conditions and there had been no additional issues and pre-conditions requested from Georgia in this process.

SOUNDBITE (English), David USUPASHVILI, Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, We are on the right track, we need lots of things to do, lot of reforms in judiciary, making our country more friendly for investors and many other things that is why we want to be closer to the European Union and to have a constant debate and discussion, on these issues, learning process and so on.
