In the draft resolution, after paragraph 19, insert the following paragraph:
"The Assembly expresses concern over a series of surprise financial inspections of the Georgian Public Broadcaster, followed by aggressive political statements by senior government officials in parallel with the introduction of controversial amendments to the Law on Broadcasting. These steps preceded statements by Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili on the desirability of the GPB's merger with TV9, owned by his wife, as well as of ownership shifts in the private Georgian media."
