European Commission, what are you waiting for? Georgia needs our support - a trip to Tbilisi, support to President Zurabishvili and implementation of real sanctions, - Dutch MEP Reinier van Lanschot said during the ongoing debate on Georgia in the European Parliament.

“It’s cold outside today. Imagine going outside and standing there for 6 hours. You’re shivering from the cold and you’re afraid that the police might beat you for no reason. Sitting at home on the sofa with your family is much better, but you still stay on the street, tomorrow you’ll go again, as you’ve been doing for the last 55 days, because you want your country not to become a dictatorship, because you want democracy and freedom in your country, because you want your country to join the European Union. How would you feel if the same union, after months of debate, decided that they could, just could, make it a little more difficult for officials of a repressive regime to travel by plane. European Commission, what are you waiting for? Georgia needs our support. A trip to Tbilisi, support to President Zurabishvili and implementation of real sanctions by the coalition of those willing to do so," the MEP noted.
