European Union Integration Committee of the Georgian Parliament Supports the Draft Law Developed by the Ministry of Justice Concerning the Process of Approximation of Georgian legislation with EU Law
The purpose of the legislative change is to effectively coordinate the process of approximation of Georgian legislation with EU law, which is especially important after Georgia's adoption of the European perspective.
As a result of the amendment to the Organic Law of Georgia on Normative Acts, if the project is developed in order to bring it closer to the EU legal act, the conclusion of the Ministry of Justice of Georgia on compliance with EU law will become binding on the draft laws submitted by the Government of Georgia to the Parliament of Georgia; as well as on drafts of normative acts of the Government of Georgia and some other sub-legal normative acts.
In addition, the receiving/issuing body of the normative act, whose normative act will not be subject to mandatory legal examination, will be authorized to submit the draft of the normative act to the Ministry of Justice of Georgia for a legal opinion of a recommendatory nature regarding its compliance with the legal act of the European Union.
At the committee discussion, it was noted that the adoption of the presented legislative change will be another important step taken by the country towards European integration.
