There is a contradiction between the recommendation of the Venice Commission [VC] and the recommendation of the European Commission, we will do what the European Commission says. Such a statement made the Chairman of the Georgian Dream.

“If the European Commission and the VC agree with each other, we will do what the European Commission says, but today the VC tells us one thing and the European Commission tells us something different. In particular, the VC says that it does not like a personalized approach and says that reforms should be carried out in various areas, which are already being done. The European Commission says we need a personalized approach.

The word de-oligarchization also means a personalized approach. So it turns out that the VC doesn’t like the personalized approach, while the European Commission tells us that we should follow the personalized approach. As soon as the European Commission agrees with the VC and removes the entry on de-oligarchization from its 12 points, we will immediately repeal the law, which will be passed in three readings by the end of this month. We will postpone the law’s enactment until March 1. If the European Commission agrees with the recommendation of the VC in December, in this case the law adopted by us will be repealed in February, but if the European Commission does not agree with the approach of the VC, then we will have to adopt this law”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
