Begin text:
Thank you, Madam Chairwoman.
The United States welcomes the extension of the EU Monitoring
Mission in Georgia for another year. We believe the EUMM is
doing an excellent job in maintaining stability and we
strongly support its continued efforts.
The EU,s Monitoring Mission has taken on particular
significance with the closure of both the OSCE and UN
Missions in Georgia. Despite the regrettable loss of these
valuable missions, the United States remains convinced that
the international community still has a vital role to play in
restoring security and stability in Georgia. We firmly
support OSCE, UN, and EU coordination of the Geneva
discussions, and hope to see concrete progress in future
meetings.
We strongly support the EU,s efforts to monitor compliance
with the 12 August and 8 September agreements, and remain
deeply concerned by the fact that Russia continues to flout
the provisions of these agreements.
The United States remains committed to peaceful conflict
resolution, and, like the EU, will continue to support
Georgia,s sovereignty, independence, and territorial
integrity within its internationally recognized borders.
Thank you, Madam Chairwoman.
