Head of Labor Inspection Department says restaurants will be fined in case of arbitrary opening

According to the Head of the Labor Inspection Department, Beka Peradze, restaurants will be fined in case of arbitrary opening.

As Beka Peradze commented on the planned arbitrary opening of the restaurants on February 6, he hopes that a consensus will be reached with restaurants by the end of the week.

"We are actively involved in communication with businesses in various sectors. I have personal telephone communication with them and I hope that we will reach a consensus within a week and such radical measures will not be taken by them as there is no reason to do so. If there is an urgent need for this and I hope our relations does not reach this level, sanctions will naturally be applied. It is 2,000 GEL for a natural person and 10,000 GEL for a legal entity, and repetition leads to criminal liability," he said.
