With coordination of the NSC Office and the support of the U.S. Embassy in Georgia, an online conference was held on the Finnish investment screening model.
The representatives of the NSC Office, Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development, State Security Service of Georgia, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment of Finland and the US Embassy in Georgia took part in the event.
Finnish colleagues provided a presentation on the specifics of Finland's Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) screening system. The representatives of the NSC Office shared information to Finnish counterparts, about ongoing reform in the field of critical infrastructure protection (CIP) and the respective action plan.
The reform, implemented in the CIP field with the coordination of the NSC Office, encompasses two separate dimensions. The first one refers to the creation of a legal and conceptual framework in the field of critical infrastructure protection, whereas the second direction envisages identification of critical infrastructure subjects and elaboration of the list of national critical infrastructure, development of security standards for the resilience of critical infrastructure subjects and monitoring of their enforcement, as well as regulation of investment policy with regard to critical infrastructure.
