Dear Lika,

Thanks for this.

let me just interpolate myself into the exchange to stress that it'd would be important and useful for us to be able to have a read of such key documents
before they are finally adopted and translated into EN. I understand it may be difficult for you to easily find a legal basis for such translation (given that the documents are in drafting stage) but you will also understand that there is practically
no possibility given to us to advise you on developing a strategy that also represents some of the references of our Macro Financial Assistance. It will be of little use if we then consult a final strategy with elements to be still corrected.

This is why, as Jurate says below, we will translate this on our own again but this is not sustainable hence I advise you explore ways to find a solution and take this task over, either through budgeting in your
planning or other Ministry's resources.

Many thanks in advance

Catalin

Deputy Head of Cooperation

Dear Jurate,

I’ll send the draft action plan in the nearest days, as currently  we are making some changes.

And the final versions  will be officially translated once approved by the Government.

Regards,

Lika

Dear Lika,

Thank you for your replay. It is very unfortunate that the ministry is not able to share the burden of translations of the key documents to our cooperation. In addition to the strategy,
which was translated from the EU resources, we will also translate the draft action plan this time. However, we would expect that after the approval of these documents the final translations/adjustments to the documents’ English version is carried out by the
Ministry and in the future sufficient resources are envisaged so that we share the costs of translation of the key documents, in particular the new key legislation and it’s amendments.

I would also appreciate if you could send me the final version of the draft action plan or confirm that the version received on the 26th of August has not been revised/updated
and is remains the latest one.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Jurate

Importance: High

Dear Jurate,

This is to inform you that the  Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Labour, Health and Social Affairs of Georgia  submitted the Labour and
Employment National Strategy to the Government of Georgia for approval.

Please be informed that the Strategy was submitted together with the Action Plan 2019-2021 (unfortunatelly, we were not able to translate it due to limited resourses) as there
is a new requirement from GoG that all National Strategies should be submitted with action plan, otherwise it won’t be approved.

In case of questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
