Abstract
The EU law as normative power is capable of affecting the legal order of non-member
countries in different ways. This chapter addresses the commitments which Georgia
has imposed on itself, be that on the basis of unilateral acts or in the framework of an
international agreement, and are aimed at approximating the Georgian law to that
of the EU. Obviously, in this sense, commitments undertaken under the EU-Georgia
Association Agreement are of great significance. The chapter explores Georgian
approach to the EU law which is reflected in unilateral acts adopted by the Georgian
lawmaker. Furthermore, particular attention is given over to commitments assumed
under the EU-Georgia Association Agreement, especially to preserve and respect
common values and to approximate Georgian laws to EU norms. It is argued that the
EU law will be - especially through the Association Agreement - a decisive factor in
the further development of the Georgian legal order.
