The Government of Georgia announces an unprecedented agreement with the European Union over the fact that all Georgian products, except garlic, will be imported into the European Union (EU) without paying customs duty.


 

According to Deputy Economy Minister Mikheil Janelidze, the private sector will receive assistance from the state to adapt to legislative and institutional changes that will take place in stages.

 

 "The Association Agreement with the EU provides for the liberalization of trade and services. It gives Georgia a phased access to the European market in three of the four components - freedom of goods, services, and capital. And the fourth - freedom of movement , depends on the liberalization of the visa regime, "- the official notes.
