Maka Botchorishvili, the Chair of the European Integration Committee of the Georgian Parliament, on Tuesday said the country’s Government had fulfilled 80 percent of the energy-related clauses in the Association Agreement with the European Union, in comments on the 10th anniversary of the deal.
Botchorishvili made the comment following sessions of the European Integration and Sectoral Economy committees of the legislative body, hosted at the Enguri Dam in the north-west of the country.
The meeting discussed clauses of the agreement that have been met since the 2014 signing of the Agreement and plans of fulfilling the remaining obligations, with Genadi Arveladze, the Georgian Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, presenting the report.
The Committee Head also said the legislative work would be completed “in the coming years” to finalise meeting the remaining energy-related targets of the Agreement.
Speaking at the hearing, Arveladze highlighted major energy projects including the Black Sea submarine cable initiative to create a new transmission route to deliver green energy from the South Caucasus to Europe.
