EC praises Georgia’s reform efforts in 2013
By Jamila Babayeva
The European Commission (EC) positively evaluated Georgia's implementation of the plan on the European Neighbourhood Programme in 2013 for a variety of priorities.
The commission's annual report indicated that there was an intensive dialogue between Georgia and the European Union in 2013. Senior officials of both sides paid mutual visits, the document reads.
"Last year Georgia fulfilled most of the EU recommendations. The presidential elections were carried out transparently in the country and fully complied with international standards," the report further reads.
The document noted that the Georgian government successfully completed a comprehensive phase of the transfer of power last year and in early 2014. It did not hinder the processes of reforms and rapprochement with the EU, the document reads.
The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) was developed in 2004 and aims at bringing Europe and its neighbours closer to their mutual benefit and interest.
This ENP framework is proposed to the 16 of EU's closest neighbours - Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Egypt, Georgia, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Moldova, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia and Ukraine.
