Marta Kos: We could take away visa liberalization, we could revise the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area Agreement, we could freeze Georgia’s candidate status – these are the possibilities

Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) with Georgia.

In addition, as she noted in an interview with Radio Liberty, “Georgia’s candidate status may be frozen.”

“ We could take away, let’s say, visa liberalization, but we will harm the most the population. Then, we have the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area Agreement (DCFTA). We may review this agreement. Then, Georgia still has candidate status. So, we could freeze it, create a standstill like with Turkey. These are the possibilities. I don’t like it when governments don’t consider people. The [Georgian] people have a great desire to follow the European path. We will work on this again. I cannot accept that we can lose Georgia, even if the government adopts one law after another that clearly contradicts European values. We tried to do sanctions, but there was no possibility, there is no unanimity among the member states. Yes, we tried that, but there are individual member states that have introduced individual sanctions,” said Marta Kos.
