Shalva Papuashvili: According to the overall assessment of the European Commission's enlargement report, Georgia is making progress on the path to membership in the European Union - we positively assess the European Commission's report

The European Commission's enlargement report was published yesterday, which talks about the steps taken by Georgia. According to the general assessment, Georgia is making progress on the path to membership in the European Union. We positively evaluate the report of the European Commission, - the member of the political council of "Georgian Dream", the chairman of the parliament, Shalva Papuashvili said at the briefing held in the central office of the party.

The Chairman of the Parliament draws attention to the progress of Georgia, which, according to him, is also mentioned in the report of the European Commission.

"According to the European Commission's assessment, during the past one year, Georgia has recorded good progress in twelve of the thirty-five chapters, and some progress in thirteen chapters. This is a very clear proof that despite the fact that due to the elections, Georgia had limited time for parliamentary activities and despite the constant obstruction of the opposition and the "NGO" sector, Georgia was taking important steps towards EU integration. It should be emphasized that out of thirty-five chapters in the report, in the case of only one chapter, which concerns justice and fundamental rights, according to the European Commission, there is a setback. In addition, in the report, the European Commission names the following issues as the main reasons for such an assessment: the abolition of gender quotas, the adoption of the "Transparency Law", the adoption of the "Family Values ​​and Protection of Minors" Law and the failure to hold LGBT Pride. In addition, it should be noted that our assessment in this chapter is equal to the assessment of Ukraine and Moldova, and in the group of fundamental issues, which this chapter includes, Georgia is ahead of both Moldova and Ukraine", said Shalva Papuashvili.
