Georgia Suspends Ban on Russia’s WTO Accession

The Georgian Parliament suspended its resolution of December 5 2002, which stipulated Georgian government to veto Russia’s accession into World Trade Organization (WTO).

Parliamentary Chairperson Nino Burjanadze proposed to suspend the resolution “at least temporarily,” amid recent attempts of Tbilisi to defuse tensions with Moscow.

Earlier Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said that Russia’s WTO accession would benefit Georgian businessmen, which export products to Russia.
