Otar Shamugia: "I congratulate all the citizens of our country!" Granting Georgia the status of a candidate for the EU member state is a historic decision. Our country continues to move forward, this is an irreversible process for full membership of the European family".
EU member states unanimously recognized Georgia's progress. I thank everyone - the Georgian people, the Georgian government team, our international partners. My special gratitude to all the employees of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, who contributed significantly to the implementation of the reforms, which were a necessary condition for a favorable decision.
From the 27 environmental directives/regulations stipulated by the Association Agreement, legislative approximation has already been implemented with 20 legal acts, and active work is underway to approximate seven legal acts. Within the framework of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement with the European Union, the legislation of Georgia has already approached 130 normative acts from the 200 legal acts of the European Union.
