European Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy, Štefan Füle, said the European Commission is ready to do its “utmost” and “almost impossible” in order to sign Association Agreements with Georgia and Moldova “as soon as possible” after and if these treaties are initialed at the Vilnius summit of Eastern Partnership countries in November.

“If we are able to initial those important Association Agreements with Moldova and Georgia in the Vilnius summit, the [European] Commission made it very clear that they will do utmost in way of legal preparation, translation of those documents to be signed before the end of the term of the duty of this Commission,” Füle said in an interview with RFE/RL Armenian service.

“This is important because – whether I like it or not, that’s not a question – unfortunately within the European Union the time to prepare this kind of documents for signing takes much more time than one would wish to see. But in the case of those two countries [Georgia and Moldova], we are ready to do our utmost, almost impossible, to deliver on signing them as soon as possible,” said Füle, who participated in an Informal Eastern Partnership Dialogue in Yerevan on September 13.

The current European Commission's term of office runs until October 31, 2014. Georgian PM Ivanishvili said that Tbilisi aims to sign the Association Agreement with the EU in spring, 2014 following its initialing at the Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius in late November.
