თათია მოგესალმები,

შრომის ინსპექციის კანონთან დაკავშირებით ჩვენი ბოლო შეხვედრის შედეგად გიფორვარდებ ლეიოს მიერ მომზადებულ მე-5 მუხლის ვერსიას, რომელშიც ასახულია ILO-ს მიდგომა ე.წ. strategic compliance-სთან დაკავშირებით. გთხოვ ნახე ლეიოს ნოუთი ქვემოთ და მუხლის ინგლისური ვერსია
(ქართულ ვერსიას ცალკე მოგაწვდი), რომელიც
რეალურად წარმოადგენს ჩვენს მიერ თავდაპირველად მომზადებული პროექტის ნორმისა და თქვენის მიერ მოდიფიცირებული  მუხლის ჰარმონიზებულ ვარიანტს. გათვალისწინებულია ასევე ბიზნესის მოთხოვნა "კონტროლის" კონცეფციის უარყოფის შესახებ. ILO-სთვის კრიტიკულად მნიშვნელოვანია
აღნიშნული ნორმის კანონპროექტში ამგვარად ასახვა.

პატივისცემით,

ზაქარია

Subject: Business feedback - LI Law proposed changes

Dear Zakaria,

As discussed, I received some feedback from GEA concerning the LI Law. Their concerns seemed to be mostly on a perceived focus on enforcement and complaints. As you know, we already agreed with the Ministry to remove a number of references to “control and supervision”
as this does not fit with the concept of strategic compliance we aim to promote through the Law.

However, as GEA specifically referred to articles 5 and 6 of the LI Law, I committed to also try and address their concerns regarding these articles. In this respect, I would appreciate it if you could bring to the attention of the Ministry and Dimitri the
proposed revised text of these articles in a new article 5 - see below. You will see that it is a combination of the language we proposed earlier and the text as adjusted by the Ministry.

Please, let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Lejo

Article 5. Goals and activities of the Labour Inspection Service

1. The purpose of the Labour Inspection Service is to ensure the effective application of the Labour Legislation.

2. To achieve this purpose, the Labour Inspection Service shall, among others, use the following
mechanisms:

a) The provision of information and/or consultations related to fulfillment of labour provisions, as requested;

b) Raising awareness and provision of information to society to promote respect for labour legislation in Georgia, through campaigns and other means considered effective;

c) Receiving and resolving complaints related to alleged violations of labour legislation;

d) Inspection;

e) Developing recommendations for improving Labour Legislation and the application thereof.

3. In performing its activities, the Labour Inspection service must use the powers under this Law in a manner that ensures the greatest possible impact on the effective application of the Labour Legislation.

4. The activities of the Labour Inspection Service do not apply to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, the Special State Protection Service, the State Intelligence Service,
the Emergency Management Agency, the State Security service, and any entities under these institutions, if these issues are regulated by effective laws governing the respective entities.
