(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) Georgian Economy Minister Levan Davitashvili on Tuesday said the
recently signed Black Sea Submarine Cable project would help
Georgia become an“important contributor” of the European Union in
economy and energy sectors, trend reports citing agenda.ge .
Georgia will turn into the“most important partner country” for
the bloc in energy security with the recently signed project, the
Ministry of Economy cited Davitashvili as saying.
'When we talk about European integration, it is clear that if we
do not make a certain contribution to the development of the
European family, if we do not add something to it, our partners'
motivation, interest and enthusiasm for integration will not be
high”, the Minister pointed out.
“Therefore, during negotiations with our European partners, we
have always raised the issue in this way - Georgia can play an
important role in the development of Europe [and] is not only a
beneficiary country, but [...] an important contributor, including
in the economic direction', he added.
Davitashvili also said the Black Sea energy transmission cable
initiative would be a 'special project for us, which will increase
the importance of Georgia for the European Union'.
The project involves the construction of a high-voltage
underwater transmission grid to connect the power transmission
lines and systems of Georgia, Romania, Azerbaijan and Hungary and
allow the export of green energy to Europe.
Georgia's direct connection to the 'most interesting, free and
open electricity market' of the European Union will enable the
country to trade 'as freely as all other EU countries',
Davitashvili said, adding Georgia's role in the project meant 'we
are members of the EU in this direction'.
