According to the statement of the First Vice Prime Minister, Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia Dimitry Kumsishvili, the participation of the private sector in the implementation of the state program Check in Georgia was unprecedented. Dimitry Kumsishvili stated that upon the initiation of the Prime Minister of Georgia, a council comprised by the representatives of the state and private sectors shall be established in order to provide joint decision-making process. “Best effects and productivity is always achieved when every interested person is involved in the decisionmaking. The Prime Minister’s initiative to set a council comprised by the representatives of state as well as private sector serves to ensure this process” - Dimitry Kumsishvili stated. According to the First Prime Minister, the council will serve to involve every interested party in the process of selection and planning of the events including the terms, dates, artists to be involved, etc. “This year private sector greatly contributed to the process by donating almost 7 million to the support the Check in Georgia. This is very impressive and we still continue negotiating. Therefore, we intend to put this cooperation into the PPP format in order to rise the efficiency even more” – Kumsishvili stated. The First Vice Prime Minister also discussed the unexpectedly raised prices on tourist services in Batumi and other issues, that appeared during the activity of the Check in Georgia. According to Dimitry Kumsishvili, if the private sector will set inadequately high prices on the products like water, the tourists will never ever come back to the location. Dimitry Kumsishvili advised the private sector to pay attention on their supplies and the pricemaking policy during the active season and to wisely determine the required human resources. “In Adjara, I felt sorry

The agreement on Russian gas export to Georgia won’t affect gas supplies to this country by the Azerbaijani state oil company SOCAR, Director General of SOCAR Energy Georgia Mahir Mammadov told Trend June 17. Alexei Miller, chairman of the Russian Gazprom’s Management Committee, and Giorgi Mamaladze, commercial director at Gazko+, a Georgian energy company that procures gas and sells it in domestic market, signed a contract June 16 at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2016. According to the contract, Gazprom will supply up to 100 million cubic meters of gas to Gazko+ over the course of 2016. The contract is effective from July 1 through Dec. 31, 2016, and can be later renewed. Mahir Mammadov said the agreement won’t affect SOCAR’s gas supplies to Georgia, because the current contract between Azerbaijan and Georgia covers the period up to 2030 and specific volumes are mentioned there. SOCAR annually exports two billion cubic meters of gas to Georgia. That gas is extracted from Azerbaijani fields by SOCAR without participation of foreign companies. In addition, Georgia annually receives from Azerbaijan 1.5 billion cubic meters of gas produced at the Shah Deniz offshore field with participation of SOCAR and foreign companies. BP is the technical operator at the Shah Deniz field. Azerbaijan is the main supplier of gas to Georgia with a specific weight of almost 75 percent.
