Tbilisi. The President of Georgia vetoed the "Third Wave” Judicial Reform bill submitted to him on January 10, 2017. The Coalition for an Independent and Transparent Judiciary believes that the objections raised by the President are important for judicial independence and proper implementation of the reform.

''On numerous occasions, the Coalition reacted to negative events associated with the Parliamentary considerations of the ''Third Wave'' legal drafts and has also assessed the bill. The Coalition believes that despite the fact that the bill does not envision reforms in several important areas, it still includes some positive changes. Accordingly, Parliament has to immediately adopt the ''Third Wave'' bill after having considered the President’s objections'', is noted in the statement.
