The Environmental Information and Education Center hosted a panel discussion as part of the high-level dialogue, where the participants discussed eco-labeling, sustainable public procurement, and regulation reform in Georgia. They also discussed the legal definitions of public procurement in the draft of the subordinate normative act.

"I want to express my gratitude to the European Union, who has been a major supporter of Georgia's efforts to develop new environmental systems. Generally, widespread participation is crucial to the development of green development and economy systems.

Labeling issues are very important, and it is also important to create a new legal system that encourages purchases where new, green technologies will be used, which have been proven worldwide to be beneficial both financially and for our health and correct production processes.

The second important component of green procurement, which is on the agenda, is to encourage the purchase of products that can be recycled and reused. I think we are on the right track in this direction", - Maia Bitadze comstatedmented at the meeting.

Together with the Chairwoman of the Committee, Maia Bitadze, the First Deputy Chairperson of the Committee, Khatia Tsilosani, Deputy Minister of Environment Protection and Agriculture, Solomon Pavliashvili, the Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, Romeo Mikautadze as well as the representatives of the State Procurement Agency and Business Association, representative of the EU Delegation participated in the dialogue.
