The Parliamentary Bureau has approved the membership of a temporary commission created to study the formation of prices for food, medicines, and fuel.

The 14-member commission will include seven members from the “Georgian Dream” faction: Shota Berekashvili (chair of the commission), Nino Tsilosani, Maia Bitadze, Paata Kvizhinadze, Vakhtang Turnava, Zaza Lominadze, and Gela Samkharadze.

Three members from the “For Georgia” faction will also serve: Giorgi Sharashidze, Shalva Kereselidze, and Ketevan Bakaradze.

The political group “People’s Power” will have three members: Guram Macharashvili, Dimitri Khundadze, and Eka Sefashvili. From the “European Socialists”, Ilia Injia will serve on the commission.

The temporary parliamentary commission will function for three months.

The commission was created under the Government Administration to examine issues related to food, medicine, and fuel prices. It is chaired by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, who stated that food in Georgia is more expensive compared to Europe due to high taxation and profits. The State Security Service has also begun studying consumer prices.
