The European Union membership questionnaire submitted by the Georgian Government, the progress made by the country on its European integration path, and relevant reforms were discussed on Friday in a meeting between the Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili and the European Union Commission Vice-President Maros Sefcovic.
