The European Union has published a report about the implementation of EU-Georgia action plan for European Neighbourhood Policy. In the report, the implementation of the plan has been assessed as making progress.
`In 2009 Georgia made progress in the implementation of the ENP Action Plan priorities, especially in the areas of rule of law, reform of the justice system, fight against corruption, trade facilitation and improvement of business climate.
In 2010 continuous and effective implementation of related legislation will be the key in ensuring the long-term success of the reforms, thus meeting ENP Action Plan commitments. Also, Georgia will need to continue its democratic reform efforts and consolidation of democratic institutions, especially political pluralism and media freedom. Other major future challenges include poverty reduction, employment and social policies, agricultural development including sanitary and phyto-sanitary issues and civil service reform,` the report says.
