Dear Beka,

Thank you very much for this update. I shared the information with Group Atlantic to make sure they are fully compliant with the recommendations and I am waiting for your reply on the specific questions about the regional authority in charge and the calendar of the decision making process. All the best. Ioulia

Dear Ioulia,

We are glad that the company has already registered. Also i want to inform you that GoG is step by step working on the organizational part of monitoring the rules and procedures. 

Also I want to inform you that the Minister of Healthcare has already adopted an order #01-149/o, which defines the General recommendations in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the workplaces. Please click the link below in order to see the order: https://www.matsne.gov.ge/ka/document/view/4845540?publication=0

About your questions, we will get back to you with the updates in a near future.

Dear Beka,

Thank you very much for this detailed and clear reply. Group Atlantic, who has already filled the official request on the website of the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development (MOESD)(www.economy.ge),  is operating in the Free zone in Kutaisi and will wait for the decision.

Please allow me two more questions:

1-      who in Imereti (Kutaissi) would be in charge of conducting the appropriate inspection ?

2-      what is the anticipated timeframe for the inspection and relative decision to grant the right to operate to the company in case of enforcement of all the rules ?

very best.

Ioulia
