Georgia Needs Commitment on its Long Journey to the EU
- Details
On Monday, March 21st, European Commissioner for Trade, Cecilia Malmström visited ISET for a discussion of EU-Georgian economic relations, with an emphasis on DCFTA (Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area). She was accompanied by Janos Herman, Ambassador of the European Union to Georgia, and Natalie Sabanadze, Georgia’s Ambassador to the EU.
In her address, Ms. Malmström explained the benefits of open markets and improved regulations for Georgian consumers. According to her, economic openness brings two types of benefits. On the one hand, it implies greater competition and a broader variety of products available in the domestic market; on the other, it also brings opportunities to increase exports. For these opportunities to materialize, Georgia would have to create a stable and business-friendly environment that would attract potential investors, foreign and domestic.
