H.E. Mrs. Larisa Miculet:

I thank members for their words of support. Please allow me also to express our gratitude. I was following Senator Keogan's personal efforts and it is very much appreciated. The Senator was joined by Members of the Oireachtas in that support.

With regard to funds from the EU, the EU mechanism of support was immediately activated. Moldova was announced as one of the countries to be supported by this mechanism. The news that was announced today will also go into that channel. As I have said, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Mr. Josep Borrell, together with the Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement, visited Moldova. They also announced the provision of support of €15 million. I do not know yet how this will work but it is a support. Support is also coming bilaterally through different mechanisms. Moldova is not being left alone. Every day, hundreds of people come into the country. We must take care of everything for them. This requires capabilities. With that support our capabilities will be strengthened and I hope it will continue to the end, when we will see what and how these people are doing. Some of them are already employed in Moldova in some ways.

On the second question, I will allow our Georgian colleague to respond first and then I will follow.

I express our gratitude also to Senator Horkan on behalf of our country's embassy for his accepting our invitation. By what Senator Horkan said today, I believe that he has already set an agenda for our meeting with the friendship group in Moldova. Our parliament definitely does a lot of work and it has a big responsibility in this process of European Union integration. I am sure that the Senator and the members of that committee will share a very consistent discussion and agenda for how to help and how to support that process.
