Control of unaccounted fuel is tightening in Georgia, Trend reports with reference to Georgian media.
The Business Association of Georgia (BAG) approved the changes determined by the order No. 92 of the Ministry of Finance of Georgia dated April 6, 2020.
According to the Business Association, these changes will minimize the possibility of importing unaccounted fuel into Georgia by transit vehicles.
