NI-CO is delighted to be back in Georgia delivering our second EU Institutional Twinning project in the field of Market Surveillance. The 2 year contract is part of a large €45 million EU support package for Georgia which has been designed to eliminate ‘Technical Barriers to Trade’ and implement the DCFTA between the EU and Georgia via the development of an EU compliant market surveillance service.

Based within the Technical and Construction Supervision Agency (TCSA) in Tbilisi, the NI-CO Regulatory services team is working to support staff in the implementation of the multi-annual action plan on market surveillance on industrial and consumer products adopted by the Governmental Decree N641. The project will be focused around 3 core components: legal approximation; institutional strengthening and capacity building of TCSA staff and awareness raising to publicize important information about TCSA activities and services in relation to market surveillance and consumer protection.
