| | The EU's relations with Georgia - Basic data (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) |
 | | Georgia is a reluctant and critical member of the CIS, and one of the most active members of GUUAM (Georgia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Moldova), the informal grouping of countries most critical of Russia's policy towards the NIS. |
 | | Georgia is a keen supporter of regional cooperation in the Caucasus and beyond, particularly in the BSEC (Black Sea Economic Cooperation organisation). |
 | | Georgia inherited from the Soviet Union an economy revolving around Black Sea tourism, cultivation of citrus fruits, tea and grapes, mining of manganese and copper and a small industrial sector, all of which has been deeply damaged by the break up of the Soviet Union’s traditional economic links. |
