The article deals with Georgia’s liabilities based on Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and Georgia, on the other part concluded on April, 22 1996 in Luxembourg.

On the basis of the given agreement Georgia took a liability to harmonize country’s legislation with the legislation of European Communities that on the other hand expressed the readiness to provide technical support.
As it is mentioned in the work, the part of agreement concerning the competition sphere follows from articles 81 and 82 (old edition articles 85 and 86) the constituent agreement of European Community (Roman contract).
The article also deals with directives concerning improving legislation on customer’s property protection and advertising activities.
Proceeding from the above mentioned a conclusion is made that Georgia should draw legislation on competition, advertising and customer’s property rights near to the European Communities’ legislation as part of the taken obligations. Together with it, Georgia should deepen bilateral agreement relationships by means of corresponding institutions (competition service and consumer’s rights protection) and related services of our neighboring states (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey) that will generally promote the growth of domestic product realization as well as expanding market and improving industrial sphere.
