The new relationship between Georgia and the European Union is the focus of this accessible, non-technical short guide. This relationship is based on a complex treaty: an Association Agreement with extensive political, economic and legal content, signed in 2014 and entered fully into force on 1 July 2016. The Agreement includes a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA).
This booklet is a summary of a longer Handbook entitled Deepening EU-Georgian Relations: What, why and how?, which explains the contents of the treaty in much greater depth. The Handbook, like the present booklet, is also freely available at www.3dcftas.eu in both English and Georgian. Both publications follow the same chapter structure, which allows readers who wish to dig deeper into the subject to readily find their way in the longer Handbook
