I wish to single out is the Free Trade Agreement (FTA), which allows our entrepreneurs, our businesses to export the Georgian produce to a huge consumer market of the EU, without any barriers, - Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvilidecalred that at a joint press conference with Oliver Varhelyi, the European Commissioner for Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement.
According to the PM, the goal of the government is that more Georgian entrepreneurs can export their local produce to the EU market.
“For some years already the EU has become a top trading partner of Georgia and we will of course further enhance this process to make sure that more Georgian entrepreneurs export their local produce to the EU market. Our main goal should be to fully use and benefit from all the possibilities that were granted to us through the Association Agreement”, - Irakli Garibashvili declared.
As the head of the government noted, the situation in the region was also discussed at the meeting.
“We have also touched upon the situation in the region, of course. We did refer to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and its further resolution. Also, I shared information with the EU Commissioned on my recent engagement in the process with our neighboring nations - our friendly nations - Azerbaijan and Armenia. You may well be aware that with our engagement 15 servicemen were released and Armenia handed my maps to Azerbaijan, which was a significant precedent that we made happen together. Georgia acted as a mediator in the conflict resolution”, - said Irakli Garibashvili.
