Georgia completed work on the first part of the EU Accession Questionnaire and it will be handed over to Carl Hartzell, Head of EU Delegation to Georgia on Monday, May 2. It was announced by Irakli Garibashvili, Prime Minister of Georgia at the 63rd Session of the Governmental Commission on EU Integration of Georgia, which was held and led by him at the Government Administration today.

The Head of Government of Georgia thanked every institution and individual engaged in the process for the efforts made on filling the first part of the questionnaire.

Under the instructions of the Prime Minister of Georgia, active work is progressing on the second - sectoral - part of the questionnaire, which entails 33 chapters and about 2300 questions in every sectoral direction. Timeline for the completion of work on the second part of the questionnaire was discussed at the session today. It was noted that the process is intense and May 13 has been indicated by the EU as a deadline for the second part of the deliverable. Still, the Government of Georgia is keen to submit the questionnaire to the EU in the most efficient manner - well before the deadline.
