ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to discuss issues of legislative approximation between the European Union (EU) and Georgia as well as the application of EU law in Georgia. It also reviews the legal grounds of the contemporary relationship between the EU and Georgia. Specific attention is paid to those institutional and legislative mechanisms existing in Georgia, which are relevant for the approximation process. Finally, certain considerations concerning the barriers to efficient implementation of the legislative approximation process in Georgia. The EU Integration Commission pursued the tasks to promote the implementation of the EU-Georgia PCA and to ensure the efficient participation of Georgia in the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and deeper legislative approximation of Georgian legislation with EU law. EU integration is one of the major priorities of contemporary Georgian foreign policy. This is manifested both in a considerable number of political statements made at the highest level and in national legislation.
