The Verts/ALE Group moved the following oral amendments:
—paragraph 9:
‘9. Calls upon the Georgian authorities to ensure free and fair elections in full accordance with international standards; calls upon the Government to respect the division of powers in the Georgian political system, to refrain from using ‘administrative resources’ during the election campaign and to guarantee freedom of expression to all candidates; welcomes the call of the Georgian authorities for international observers to monitor the elections;’
—recital D:
‘D. whereas six days of opposition rallies erupted in violence when police security forces used excessive force to break up demonstrations, using water cannons, rubber bullets and tear gas, leaving up to five hundred protesters injured, including the Georgian Ombudsman, Sozar Subari,’
—recital G:
‘G. whereas on the evening of 7 November two opposition TV channels, Imedi and Caucasia, were taken off the air; whereas the buildings of Imedi television and radio were stormed by armed members of security agencies wearing masks before the announcement of the state of emergency and without prior notification, with part of the station’s broadcasting equipment destroyed; whereas a Tbilisi court suspended Imedi’s broadcasting license and froze its assets on the grounds that its coverage of the events of 7 November amounted to incitement to overthrow the government; whereas the court notification was handed over to Imedi’s director only one week later; whereas the Georgian National Communication Commission (GNCC) has suspended Imedi’s TV broadcasting licence for three months, citing the station’s violation of the law on broadcasting,
—recital H:
‘H. whereas, in a conciliatory move, on 8 November 2007 President Saakashvili proposed early presidential elections for 5 January 2008, to be coupled with a plebiscite on the date of the next parliamentary elections,’
Vytautas Landsbergis moved an oral amendment to amendment 4, which now read as follows:
‘14a. Calls upon the Council and the Commission to pursue a more decisive EU policy towards its Eastern neighbourhood, which should not reject cooperation with Russia, but on the contrary offer it wherever possible; considers, however, that at the same time the EU must adopt a more resolute stance on crucial issues in the region and become more deeply involved, despite Russia’s current negative attitude towards the EU’s role in their common neighbourhood; underlines that, in the end, it is up to the Russian authorities to understand that it is not so much geopolitical rivalry with the EU that diminishes Russian influence in its neighbourhood, but Russia’s own deplorable approach to some of its neighbours;’
