The European Union delegation calls on Georgia to send the draft law on de-oligarchization to the Venice Commission.

“De-oligarchisation” draft law passed second reading.

We reiterate our strong suggestion: a Venice Commission opinion should be requested and implemented before its adoption”, - reads the remark of the EU delegation in Georgia.

The draft law passed the second reading in the Parliament on November 16. The law was drafted in response to the European Commission’s recommendation on de-oligarchization and has transferred the Ukrainian de-oligarchization law to Georgia, albeit with some changes like granting the Government the ability to compile the list of oligarchs instead of the President.
