Georgia as in former Soviet Republic Georgia? no. This will create the biggest **** storm since Iraq.

[barnetlad]

The principality of Sealand should be given first option to be the next member of the EU, or maybe Rockall.

What a strange expansion of the European Union. I would urge members to vote this treaty down.

[chrisawhitmore]

No, as I refuse to vote for any EU expansion until the shameful stringing along of Turkey has ceased.

Also, the people of Georgia suffered for too long under an undemocratic centralised authority, I would not see them fall under the power of another one.

Well, at least they've already lived under a sham parliament and government by an unnacountable politburo, so they wouldn't be too confused by the EU parliament and commission.

[eff01]

Wholeheartedly support this accession and urge all members to do the same.

[ukip72]

Why support the EU ruining the lives of a further 5m people?

[xXedixXx]

If they want in, let 'em in.

[Lipvig]

Will they be required to use the Euro?

All new members are required to eventually use the euro. Only the UK (MHoC) and Denmark have opt outs from joining the euro.

How would Georgia benefit most? How would the EU benefit from Georgia's membership?

The EU would not benefit at all... not with Russia breathing down our backs and think of the extra money going to Georgia to fund god knows what.

So with the EU funding Georgia it could cause tension between the EU and Russia?

Yes, Russian's don't like the idea of EU enlargement as it threatens their national security, especially when it is on their border in regards to Georgia they are harbouring Chechen terrorists.

If Georgia within can guarantee that it has met with all constitutional stipulations (human rights ect..) then i will happily vote Aye.

With that said the fact that the treaty contains no such information and the fact that it will be an enlargement of the EU/Russia border i will for the moment abstain.

The EU is a soft power and Enlargement is part of it. The EU offers democratic consolidation and opening up markets. The previous enlargement that took place in 2004 and the ones back in the 1980s was to consolidate Democracy ion those States.

The RL Enlargement process is long and complicated and I cannot put into words to explain it. The Copenhagen Criteria is used./

The long blurb at the top is my doing, I used from the Croatia Accession Treaty and modified it

It helps that the accession countries in 2004 and next year are actually in Europe. The notion of the EU expanding beyond the boundaries of the European continent is, at least for me, a bit of a farce. Iceland is a European nation; Georgia is not.

I am giving the context and saying it is a long process IRL, I am not getting involved regarding Georgia (Impartial because of the hats I wear). You are right to express your concern though
