A questionnaire has already been delivered to Georgia, according to which, the EU will make an assessment of the current reforms being implemented in the country on its path to the EU. I am proud to state, that, since 2014, our Agency has worked hard to fulfill its obligations taken under the EU-Georgia Association Agreement " Mr. Otar Shamugia said.
