On December 5, 2011 the EU adopted decision to launch negotiations on the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA) with Georgia. The DCFTA is an important component of the EU-Georgia Association Agreement.

The negotiations will cover a wide range of trade-related and economic issues, that will foster Georgia’s deeper economic integration with the EU.

The EU decision was taken on the basis of sufficient progress reached by Georgia in implementation of relevant reforms and conditions for the start of the mentioned negotiations.

According to Mr. De Gucht, the Commissioner for Trade, “A deep and comprehensive free trade area will help Georgia … to become more competitive and enjoy the benefits of the EU Single Market”.
