GYLA voices its position on the initiated draft “aiming to impose certain obligations on lawyers”
Tbilisi. Georgian Young Lawyers' Association released a statement on the initiated draft "aiming to impose certain obligations on lawyers”. "Amendments to the ”Law of Georgia Promoting Prevention of Legalization of Illegal Incomes” and to the Law of Georgia on Attorneys were initiated in the Parliament of Georgia. The draft aims to bring Georgian legislation in line with recommendations of the "Financial Actions Task Force” (FATF). To our regret, the process of draft preparation was not transparent enough. It was implemented without lawyers’ participation, consideration of their arguments and detailed examination of the document. This week, the Parliament of Georgia plans to adopt the draft in the second reading. GYLA opines that Parliamentary discussions should be prolonged and adoption of the law at the second reading be postponed", says the statement.
