"Georgia Moves Closer to the EU by Aligning with it on International Arena

A final agreement has been reached with the EU on allowing Georgia to concur with its position on the foreign policy issues that the EU will touch upon in its statements. On 1 June, 2007 Georgia gained the right to align itself with the political statements and declarations that are adopted by the EU under its Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP).



This opportunity for Georgia has been present in the European Neighborhood Policy Action Plan, a document of EU-Georgia priorities and actions that was jointly agreed last November. However, it was only in 14-16 May, 2007 that the two sides arrived at the final agreement during the talks that Georgia’s Foreign Minister Gela Bezhuashvili held in Brussels."
