  The criticism of Babaev and Silaev notwithstanding, we conclude that our
analysis is correct. We have found in our papers on two-band superconductors
close to Tc, where the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory applies, that these
materials are characterized by a single order parameter, governed by a single
correlation length. In the GL domain, the order parameters of individual bands
are proportional to each other. This happens due to the unavoidable inter-band
Josephson coupling. Consequently, in the regime where the GL theory applies,
these systems are either type-I or type-II superconductors with no room for so
called "1.5-type" superconductivity. This conclusion does not mean that at
lower temperatures, outside of the GL domain, the inter-vortex interaction
cannot have interesting properties, however, the latter cannot be addressed
with the standard GL formalism.
