This move follows Georgia's formal agreement to accede to the Conventions on 19 December 2024. By joining these Conventions, Georgia will be part of a network that facilitates the movement of goods across borders between the EU and other participating countries, including Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, North Macedonia, Serbia, Türkiye, Ukraine, and the UK. The simplified rules for border crossing, such as mutually recognised financial guarantees and reduced controls, will cut costs for businesses in the EU, Georgia and other participating countries.
