Irakli Kadagishvili, the Chairman of the Rules and Procedural Issues Committee of the Parliament of Georgia, on Thursday said decisions regarding the 12-point conditions outlined by the European Union for granting the country membership candidate status would be made by the end of the year.
Kadagishvili noted the works within the legislative body would be carried out according to the schedule.
The work will be carried out exactly according to the schedule and, as we announced, despite the fact that the European Union postponed the deadline, we will have decisions on all twelve recommendations by the end of this year”, the Parliament official said.
Michael Rupp, a representative of the European Commission, on July 13 said that the European Commision would present a report on the priorities in the enlargement package in 2023 to give the Georgian political system “sufficient time” to “thoroughly work” on the priorities for membership candidate status.
The official noted that after a “careful deliberation” it had been decided “not to rush” the Georgian political forces in their attempts to depolarise the country’s political environment - a condition for the EU membership status - and to ensure “thorough work” on related reforms.
