On 28th of November ICC Georgia HR and Training commission held a meeting regarding new Labor Code, on which International Investors Association also attended.  Chairman of the Commission Mr. Yuri Dolidze lead the meeting and presented New Labour Code Draft as well as Georgian Parliament’s first comments on the Code. Mr. Dolidze stated that ICC Georgia can coordinate its future activities with certain Legislation makers and urged commission to get actively involved in the issue. It became obvious that the Legislation are copied from an EU model and are being implemented with very few adjustments. As a result many articles contain poor and misinterpreted terms and wording. Moreover, new Code might create serious problems for the employers all over Georgian and further destabilize the business. The commission agreed on two major plans of actions:

1. Consult with Tamar Kovziridze and urge the parliament to postpone any further Lobbing of the law.

2. Meeting the Social Affairs and Euro Integration committees in order to better understand thought process behind new regulations and present ICC Georgia's positions.
