U.S. Ambassador to Georgia Kelly Degnan on Monday said “the United States agrees with the European Union’s strong advice to Georgia to submit the Georgian legislation for Venice Commission review. ”

Asked about de-oligarchization law submitted to Venice Commission, the Ambassador said: “What is important is the European Union’s strong advice to Georgia to submit the Georgian legislation to the Venice Commission for review.”

“That is the best way to know that the Georgian legislation addresses the situation here in Georgia, which was the subject of the 12 recommendations. This is a very complex and new area of law. There isn’t “a one size fits all” approach to it. That’s why the United States agrees with the European Union’s strong advice to Georgia to submit the Georgian legislation for Venice Commission review,” she asserted.
