The European Parliament's President, Roberta Metsola, said on April 29th that the law-making body welcomed Georgia's, Moldova's, and Ukraine's official European Union membership aspirations. "We recognise the problems, risks, and difficulties that those countries face," Metsola said. She also stated that the EU parliamentary body was in "continuous touch" with Georgian partners and parliamentarians over the country's request. On March 11th, the European Council requested the European Commission, the EU's executive department, to provide its views on Moldova's and Georgia's EU membership bids. On March 3rd, Georgia formally filed for EU membership after the country’s PM Irakli Garibashvili signed the application.

This follows the Georgian government’s decision on April 29th to publish the second part of the European Commission questionnaire for Georgia's European Union membership. At Friday's meeting of the Government Commission for EU Integration, convened by the Prime Minister, the decision to disseminate the questionnaire was made. According to the Government Administration, the public portion of the questionnaire focuses on subjects and conformance with EU legislation of certain sectors of the nation. The government completed the first section of the EU membership questionnaire. Today, the government will send the first part of the questionnaire to Carl Hartzell, the Head of the European Union Delegation to Georgia.
