Olivér Várhelyi, European Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement, addressed the Interparliamentary Conference on Common Foreign, Security and Defence Policy, saying that “It is crucial for Georgia to confirm its commitment to EU membership and move forward on its EU path.”

“The candidates and potential candidates must therefore show the full commitment in their delivery of the reforms. In parallel, we must also ensure that the enlargement policy, as agreed in our revised enlargement methodology, stays credible, predictable, dynamic and subject to even stronger political steering,” Várhelyi stated.
