Proposal for a Council Decision on the position to be adopted within the Customs Sub-Committee established by the Association Agreement between the European Union and Georgia

The Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Georgia, of the other part, establishes a preferential trade regime – the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA). This regime increases market access between the EU and Georgia. The Agreement entered into force on 1 July 2016.

The EU-Georgia Customs Sub-Committee is to adopt a decision regarding the replacement of Protocol I to the Agreement, concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation, by a new protocol which refers to the Regional Convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin. The present proposal concerns the decision establishing the position to be adopted on behalf of the Union in the Customs Sub-Committee.
