The National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia has ratified the Association Agreement (AA) between Georgia and the European Union (EU).

Members of the general representative body of Slovenian Parliament voted in favour of the ratification of the EU-Georgia deal yesterday, on May 13.

The document was approved following a majority vote, 69 votes in favour and 3 against.

The important deal was signed by Georgia and the EU on June 27, 2014 in Brussels. European Parliament approved the EU-Georgia deal on December 18, 2014.

The Republic of Slovenia is the 21th EU member state to ratify the EU-Georgia deal.

Other countries that have already ratified the important deal are: Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Finland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Germany, Poland, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Croatia, Romania, Hungary, Estonia, Slovakia, Malta, Latvia, Lithuania and Bulgaria.

EU Association deals need to be ratified by all 28 EU member countries before the agreement can be fully implemented. Therefore seven EU member countries still need to ratify the deal.
