Lithuanian and Slovak Experiences
Among the project consortium are two organizations based in Lithuania and Slovakia, respectively, which are to share their countries’ experiences in accessing the EU single market. Until Lithuania and Slovakia joined the European Union in 2004, their trade relations with EU member states fell under the Free Trade Agreement. To some extent, that past arrangement can be compared to the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) Agreement between the EU and Georgia.
The experiences of Lithuanian and Slovak businesses are to be used as illustrative materials when explaining the benefits of the DCFTA to Georgian producers. Among the experiences are not only best practices and success stories but also lessons learned, which can serve as guidance for Georgia’s small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME).
