Peter Fischer, the German ambassador to Georgia, on Wednesday said the process of the country implementing the European Union conditions for receiving the membership candidate status should be “inclusive, democratic and pluralistic”.
In his remarks over the matter, Fischer noted it was “still too early” to assess the quality of the implementation of the conditions since the process had only recently started.
“Two things are important. The first is that the process is inclusive, democratic and pluralistic and the second is that the results are in line with European standards”, Fischer said.
On June 24, the European Council granted the membership candidate status to Ukraine and Moldova, and said it would be ready to grant the same status to Georgia once the outstanding priorities outlined by the European Commission would be addressed by the Georgian government.
Peter Fischer, the newly appointed ambassador of Germany to Georgia, on Wednesday said the European perspective - granted to Georgia by the European Council in June in response to the country’s application for European Union membership - was a “great opportunity” for Georgia, with the path to eventual membership candidate status being “very clear”.
Irakli Kobakhidze, the chairman of the ruling Georgian Dream party, on Tuesday said the Georgian government was following “diligently” each recommendation of the European Union for granting the country the membership candidate status, and expressed his hope for a “positive” political decision from the bloc.
Maka Botchorishvili, the chair of the Georgian parliament’s European Union integration committee, on Thursday said European partners “unequivocally” supported the idea of the country’s integration into the European Union and a successful implementation of EU conditions for granting the country the membership candidate status.
Maka Botchorishvili, the chair of the Georgian parliament’s European Union integration committee, on Tuesday said the “ultimate goal” of the Georgian authorities was to see the country join the EU, and the “most important” thing was to make “rapid progress” on this path.
Thomas Mühlmann, the ambassador of Austria to Georgia, on Thursday said he was confident that if both the government and the opposition in Georgia worked together for fulfilling conditions for European Union membership candidate status, the objective would be successfully accomplished.
Maka Botchorishvili, the chair of the Georgian parliament’s European Union integration committee, on Thursday said it was “important” to have an “intensive relationship” with the country’s European partners and “discuss all challenges” facing the country with them.
Pawel Herczynski, the European Union ambassador to Georgia, on Friday said the “doors to the European Union” were “open” for Georgia.
The working group of the Georgian parliament engaged in implementing the European Union conditions for granting the country the membership candidate status on Monday prepared an action plan for the reform of the judiciary of the country, the press service of the Georgian parliament said.
Georgia’s European Union integration progress and the country’s implementation of the EU recommendations for granting it the membership candidate status were discussed on Monday in a meeting between Maka Botchorishvili, the chair of the Georgian parliament’s EU integration committee, and a delegation of the national security and defence committee of the Lithuanian parliament.
Existing threats and challenges in the Black Sea region on the backdrop of a “deteriorating security environment” were discussed on Monday in a meeting between the Georgian defence minister Juansher Burchuladze and Pawel Herczynski, the European Union ambassador to Georgia.
Peter Fischer, the ambassador of Germany to Georgia, on Monday said his government would work “very closely” with Georgia on the country’s European integration.
Mamuka Mdinaradze, the executive secretary of the ruling Georgian Dream party, on Monday said a “radical part” of the domestic opposition was “sabotaging” the implementation of European Union conditions for granting the country the membership candidate status.
Peter Fischer, the German ambassador to Georgia, on Wednesday said the European perspective offered to the country by the European Council was a “very great and very fortunate thing”.
