According to Shalva Papuashvili, Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, a parliamentary commission on consumer prices will be established at the beginning of next week, with quotas for each faction to be determined.
Papuaшvili noted that the initiative comes from the Georgian Dream faction, which proposes a 14-member commission chaired by Shota Berekashvili.
“The initiative for the temporary commission comes from the Georgian Dream faction. The draft resolution will be presented at the Bureau session on Monday and submitted directly to the plenary session without committee discussion. After adoption, the Procedural Committee will determine the number of members and assign quotas for each faction. If the commission consists of 14 members as proposed, the distribution would be: seven for Georgian Dream, three for People’s Power, three for the For Georgia faction, and one for the Eurogroup – seven, three, three, one. The majority should not hold a majority in the commission,” Papuashvili said.
He added that the goal is for the commission to begin work quickly. Factions are expected to present their members to the Bureau by Wednesday morning, with the commission expected to operate fully from Wednesday or Thursday. The commission is planned to work intensively over a three-month term, as proposed by its initiators.
