Speaker: EU infrastructure projects push for Georgia's spatial, economic, European integration

Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili on Monday echoed EU Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi’s statement that the European Union would allocate €17 billion for the economic and investment plan of the Eastern Partnership (EaP), including €2.3 billion aimed at creating the Black Sea strategic submarine electricity cable between Georgia and the EU.

Papuashvili said” these are the projects that make Georgia a real part of the European Union and directly connect the European Union with Georgia.”

“That is a prerequisite for us to finally connect with the European Union both spatially and economically, and therefore, accelerate EU integration process,” the Speaker stated.
