Georgia’s cooperation with Eurojust dates back to 2012. There are two Georgian contact points for Eurojust, appointed in 2013 and 2016, respectively. Eurojust’s relations with Georgia have been steadily improving since 2013, paving the way for the signing of the cooperation agreement. Between 2017 and 2018, all legal formalities required for the conlusion of the agreement were completed. Georgia was included in the list of priority counterparts of Eurojust’s External Relations Team for several years, as well of the Board on Relations with Partners for the period 2018-2019. In February 2019, the European Parliament voted in favour of the signing of a cooperation agreement in criminal matters between Eurojust and Georgia, the first agreement ever to be concluded with a State of the South Caucasus region. The agreement was approved by the Council in March 2019. After signing, the agreement will have to be ratified by the Georgian parliament and transposed into national law. If Eurojust is satisfied with the transposition, the cooperation agreement will enter into force.
