Georgia continues the process of integration and institutional and legislative harmonisation with the EU, Irakli Kobakhidze stressed after meeting with the PAC members.
The EU-Georgia Parliamentary Association Committee was established in 2014, following Georgia's signature of the Association Agreement. The committee is composed of members from the Parliament of Georgia and the European Parliament and meets twice a year, once in Brussels and once in Tbilisi.
