ISET-PI played a relatively minor role in this project, supporting a consortium consisting of Ecorys (Netherlands) and CASE (Poland). The study was commissioned by the European Commission (DG Trade).

These findings were reported to the Georgian Prime Minister’s office and to the consortium members.
