Indeed, we have seen the Senate Act. We take note about this issue. This shows once more that the world is paying attention to what is happening in Georgia, - This was stated by the spokesperson for the European Commission on foreign and security affairs, Anitta Hipper, in Brussels, in response to a question from the special correspondent of "InterpressNews".

According to her, the European Union's position towards Georgia remains unchanged after the parliamentary elections in October.

"Our position is very clear, as also stated by the High Representative. Since the last year, we have seen with the parliamentary election that we have a serious democratic backsliding, with a serious repression against civilians, against journalists that have been jailed, and innocent protesters.

We have reacted immediately, both in terms of downgrading and cutting our political contacts, but also when it comes to stopping our direct assistance to the Georgian authorities, and also reallocating financial support to the civil society", - Anitta Hipper stated.

For your information, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has supported the "Friendship Act."
