The European Union (EU) is the largest investor in Georgia and the biggest trade partner of the country, claims EU Ambassador to Georgia Janos Herman.
Today the EU high official visited Georgia’s capital Tbilisi and attended the ‘European Companies in Georgia: Growing Trade and Investments’ business conference alongside local businessmen.
Investments are one sphere while trade is another. As we can see, since the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) took effect, the EU has become the largest investor in Georgia meaning that it is the largest trade partner of Georgia,” Herman said.
Georgia signed its Association Agreement (AA), which included the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA), with the EU in June 2014.
When I say the EU I mean its 28 member countries. I expect that this conference will allow us to evaluate what is happening regarding implementation of the free trade agreements,” he added.
Hermann said agriculture was the first sector where the trade was supported in Georgia and other sectors would be gradually included over time.
More and more Georgian agriculture products will have tariff-free access in the EU market. Some Georgian products already appear on supermarket shelves in Sweden and Germany,” he said.
We hope to see more similar successful examples in the future. … Export to the EU requires high standards and quality”.
Herman hoped more Georgian companies would soon be able to export their goods to the EU.
Georgia’s European future was the focus of a meeting between Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili and head of the European Union (EU) Delegation to Georgia Janos Herman. The two officials met earlier today at the Government of Georgia Administration building in capital Tbilisi.
"Georgia is really a leader and a leading actor in terms of carrying out reforms in public administration”.
The European Union (EU) is supporting Georgia’s small businesses to ensure they enjoy benefits from the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) agreement.
The amount of Georgian agricultural products exported to the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) is increasing, says the country’s Ministry of Agriculture.
Georgia is increasing its trading powers with European markets, meaning more Georgian products are being enjoyed by consumers in Europe and possibly further abroad.
Janos Herman, Ambassador of the European Union (EU) to Georgia says he is "happy Georgian media is more balanced and informative than it was in 2012”, when the Parliamentary Elections were conducted by the previous state leadership.
Georgia is a country oriented on European and Euro-Atlantic integration, Georgian President Giorgi Margvelashvili said at today’s event in the Rike Park in central Tbilisi celebrating the European Days 2017.
Georgia is the closest and most important partner of the European Union in the region, says the Chair of the EU Council’s Political and Security Committee (PSC) Walter Stevens. A delegation from the PSC is paying a visit to Tbilisi, Georgia.
The delegation of the EU to Georgia says that Georgia’s Public Defender’s Office has presented the Special Report on Combating and Preventing Discrimination and the Situation of Equality, which assesses developments since 2014.
