Georgia commits to strengthen environmental legal frameworks that govern infrastructure development. Elaboration of the draft law of Georgia on Biological Diversity is in the process, which will create a legal basis for the fulfilment of the obligations under the EU/Georgia Association Agreement to harmonise Georgian legislation of nature conservation with European. It should be also noted that as some issues connected to fisheries are still regulated by sub-laws, it is planned to develop a comprehensive legislative basis to ensure sustainable use of fish resources. As a first step, it is planned to develop a National Concept on Sustainable Fisheries. The above mentioned laws and the concept will facilitate the effective governance of infrastructure development.
