The relevant agencies will study cartel transactions and, if necessary, will take appropriate measures - we must find ways for price cuts, this is our task, - Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told journalists.
According to the PM, an investigative commission will definitely be established in the legislative body by a decision of the parliament.
"A commission will definitely be created in the parliament, this is the decision of the parliament, as for specific possible cartel transactions, I will not comment on this today. Today we have a meeting with Georgian food producers. Of course, we will also hear information from them. Naturally, we do not want to draw hasty conclusions, there are relevant agencies that study cartel transactions and take appropriate measures if necessary. We should wait for such an investigation. Until then, I will refrain from making specific explanations. The main thing is to listen to everyone and together we should find ways to reduce prices as much as possible, this is our task.
The working process will be completed by the end of April at the latest, accordingly, all aspects of the formation of the price markup will be identified and based on this we can make specific decisions, including specific legislative amendments. The working process already shows this. This working process, which is related to prices, will continue until the end of April at the latest," Kobakhidze said.
