| After the split of the USSR, Greece recognized Georgia as an autonomous state
in March 1992 and in the effort of creating an institutional framework for the development of their bilateral relations, the Governments
of the two countries signed an Agreement of co-operation in agriculture
(Tbilisi, April of 1997). |
| This Agreement covers actions in sectors such as agriculture, food industry, plant production, phytosanitary protection, animal husbandry, beekeeping, aviculture, processing methods, genetic and biological
material of plant or animal origin, exchange of information for irrigation
systems. |
| Thus, in 1999, the Greek side implemented a training
seminar for 25 experts of the Georgian Ministry of Agriculture on issues
of modern technology in agricultural production and processing. Furthermore, one
expert from the Greek Ministry of Agriculture (Directorate of Animal Husbandry) went to Tbilisi and
offered technical guidance in the sector of dairy products. |
| The 1st Meeting of the united Intergovernmental Committee for Economic and Technological Co-operation between Greece and Georgia took place in Athens (January of 2000) where a relevant Protocol was signed. |
| Following this Protocol, the Greek Ministry of Agriculture implemented in November of 2003, a training seminar for 15 Georgian experts on issues of agri-management and marketing research. |
