This document discusses the development of competition policy in Georgia from 1992 to 2012. It outlines Georgia's international obligations regarding competition from organizations like the EU, WTO, and OECD. It then details the evolution of Georgia's legal and institutional framework for competition policy, including the establishment of an Antimonopoly Administration in 1992 and the passage of key laws on competition in 1995-1996. Reforms continued through the 2000s to bring policy more in line with EU standards.
This document proposes reforms to Georgia's Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) and police system. It recommends separating the state security service from the MIA in order to depoliticize the police. It also suggests establishing a Ministry of Internal Affairs focused on civil services and public order protection, with municipal police forces and a public council for civic control of law enforcement. The reformed system would implement advanced international practices and principles of career progression for police.
The document discusses problems with Georgia's business environment and proposes improvements. It identifies several key issues, including a declining real sector share of GDP supported by foreign credits; decreasing private sector capital formation; and falling business sector turnover and production since 2007. Small and medium enterprises comprise an insignificant portion of the economy. Despite GDP growth, employment indicators have remained flat. Difficulties accessing bank credits, tax administration problems, weak property rights protections, and an ineffective court system deteriorate the investment environment. Monopolies exist in many markets. The document proposes addressing these issues to improve conditions for businesses.
The document summarizes the Georgian Development Research Institute's concept on public service reform in Georgia. It discusses bureaucratic and flexible state models, as well as foreign experiences with public administration reform. Key aspects of reforming Georgia's public service system are addressed, including establishing a professional public servant institution, reforming the state service system, and addressing problems in Georgia's Law on Public Service.
The document summarizes key points about competition policy and economic regulation in Georgia. It discusses international rules and principles related to competition, Georgia's international commitments, the EU's competition law and how it relates to Georgia, issues with Georgia's current 2005 competition law, draft revisions to the competition law being considered, and institutional reforms underway in 2010-2011 to strengthen the competition authority. It also analyzes aspects of the draft law that need improvement, such as its limited scope of application and broad exemptions.
