According to him, the legislation of Georgia has already been approximated to over 60% of the DCFTA legal acts.

“We strive to direct all the reforms we undertake in Georgia to successful economic integration with the EU. I would like to highlight that we have already submitted the “Economic Reforms Program 2024-2026” to the European Commission, which ensures the approximation to the EU market, the implementation of the EU Association Agreement and the fulfillment of the EUAA commitments. Hence, soon, we will be prepared to become a part of the EU market”, - he stated.
