EU Parliamentarian: Georgians will travel to EU visa-free from April
Georgian citizens will be able to travel in the European Union's (EU) Schegen Zone without visa from the end of April at the latest, says a European Parliamentarian.
Today, Andrejs Mamikins, Member of European Parliament and co-rapporteur of Georgia’s visa liberalistaion said the European Council had suggested the second half of April as the final date for Georgia’s visa waiver.
"There are only technical details. It seems like the final text regarding Georgia will be signed on April 7. On April 15, the decision will be published in the official journal of the EU, and from the end of April any Georgian citizen who has a biometric passport will be able to travel in the EU states without visa,” Mamikins said.
He added that the vote on Georgia’s visa waiver at the European Parliament’s plenary session would take place either in January or February. This would be followed by "complex procedures”, including translating the document into 24 official languages of the EU member states.
"This process cannot last longer than eight weeks. This is where the final date – the end of April – derives from,” Mamikins said.
Meanwhile European Parliamentarian Mariya Gabriel, who is a rapporteur of Georgia’s visa liberalistaion, said in her interview with Georgia’s Public Broadcaster that she would do her best to advance the process.
"I will spare no effort to speed up Georgia’s visa liberalisation and Georgia be granted the visa free regime sooner than the end of April,” Gabriel said.
