Georgia has achieved “significant success” in quality infrastructure development


Genadi Arveladze, the Deputy Economy Minister of Georgia, on Friday said the country had achieved “significant success” in quality infrastructure development, a system contributing to Governmental policy objectives in areas including trade competitiveness in global markets, efficient use of natural and human resources, food safety and more.

Speaking at an event dedicated to the official opening of the European Union-funded twinning project supporting the 2020-launched domestic Market Surveillance Agency, Arveladze said the Association Agreement signed with the EU in 2014 had contributed to the success achieved in developing the area.

Quality infrastructure is a priority direction both in terms of economic development and European integration. Since 2020, the Market Surveillance Agency has been operating with the aim of limiting the availability of hazardous products on the market in order to protect the health and safety of citizens, as well as the environment and property”, he said.

The official also said the twinning project would “institutionally strengthen” the Agency, contribute to the development of market supervision in Georgia and increase the awareness of the business sector.

Arveladze said domestic legislation on market supervision would be reviewed with the intention of improving the existing system in the country and implementing monitoring in accordance with the “best European practices”.
