  15. Annex 2: Georgia’s Domestic and Internal Gas Pipeline Network, Existing and Projected Source : GIOGC

  16. Solutions • Transparent and Stable Transit Conditions across the Transit Chain • Develop CrossCaspian & CrossBlack Sea Transit Networks • Adopt and Implement Similar, competitive and acceptable for Parties Interested transit conditions Liana Jervalidze
