The legal regime applying to SCPX is complicated, so this chapter seeks to highlight high-level regulatory context for the proposed Project; it does not provide an exhaustive analysis of all requirements that may be applicable to the SCPX Project and is not a definitive analysis of those provisions that are considered below.  \nThe chapter considers the following:  \n• National legislation (the Constitution of Georgia, the Agreement between Georgia and the Azerbaijan Republic relating to the Transit, Transportation and Sale of Natural Gas in and beyond the Territories of Georgia and the Azerbaijan Republic through the South Caucasus Pipeline System (“Inter Government Agreement, IGA”) and host government agreement between and among the Government of Georgia and the SCP Participants (“HGA”)  \n• Selected international and regional conventions  \n• Selected international standards, practice and guidance, including International Finance Corporation (IFC) policies  \n• BP corporate policies.  \nCross-reference is made to information contained within Chapter 6 of the SCPX Final ESIA to avoid repetition of information.  \nPlease note that the descriptions ofthe HGA and other laws and documents included below are high-level summaries only and are qualified by reference to the full text of the HGA and other documents.  \n6.2 National Legislation  \n6.2.1 The Constitution  \nThe ‘ Constitution of Georgia’ (1995, last amended on 15 December 2010) prevails over other national legislation and international agreements. It states the basic rights of people to live in a healthy environment (Article 37 Part 3) . It assures that the state shall protect the environment and foster sustainable development (Article 37 Part 4) . It establishes a legal framework that guarantees public access to information about the condition of the environment (Article 37 Part 5, Article 41 Part 1) .  \n6.2.2 Legal Framework Applicable to SC","cbCaivGmazBi1a1q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivGmazBi1a1q","pdf",269672,13,"English","en",105,"# 6 Policy, Legal and Administrative Framework\n## 6.1 Introduction\n## 6.2 National Legislation\n### 6.2.1 The Constitution\n### 6.2.2 Legal Framework Applicable to SCPX Project\n### 6.2.3 The IGA\n### 6.2.4 The HGA\n## 6.3 International Standards and Guidelines\n## 6.4 International and Regional Conventions\n## 6.5 National Legal and Administrative Framework\n### 6.5.1 National Legislation and Permitting Requirements\n### 6.5.2 Environmental Impact Assessment\n### 6.5.3 Permit Requirements\n## 6.6 Project Environmental Standards\n## 6.7 BP Corporate Policy","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of Chapter 6 for the SCPX Project?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a high-level description of the key elements of the regulatory framework applicable to the SCPX Project and its design updates, focusing on regulatory context rather than exhaustive analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the IGA and HGA apply to the SCPX Project?\",\"answer\":\"The SCPX Project is implemented under the IGA and the HGA, where the IGA is binding international law between contracting states and the HGA governs Georgia’s domestic law for the project.\"},{\"question\":\"Which types of standards and documents does the chapter consider?\",\"answer\":\"It covers national legislation, selected international and regional conventions, selected international standards and guidance (including IFC policies), and BP corporate policies, along with relevant environmental, health and safety principles described in the agreements.\"}]","Chapter 6 Policy, Legal and Administrative Framework - Section 6.1 Introduction | PDF",1790677079,33,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":83},"ok",{"site_id":75,"language":74,"slug":84,"title":65,"keywords":85,"description":66,"schema_data":86,"social_meta":140,"head_meta":142,"extra_data":144,"updated_unix":145},"chapter-6-policy-legal-and-administrative-framework-section-61-introduction","",{"@graph":87,"@context":139},[88,102,122],{"@type":89,"itemListElement":90},"BreadcrumbList",[91,95,97,100],{"item":92,"name":93,"@type":94,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":96,"name":9,"@type":94,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":98,"name":40,"@type":94,"position":99},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":101,"name":65,"@type":94,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/chapter-6-policy-legal-and-administrative-framework-section-61-introduction/436186/",{"url":101,"name":65,"@type":103,"image":104,"author":109,"headline":65,"publisher":111,"fileFormat":114,"inLanguage":74,"description":66,"dateModified":115,"datePublished":116,"encodingFormat":114,"isAccessibleForFree":117,"interactionStatistic":118},"DigitalDocument",{"url":105,"@type":106,"width":107,"height":108},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/chapter-6-policy-legal-and-administrative-framework-section-61-introduction/436186.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":63,"@type":110},"Person",{"url":92,"name":112,"@type":113},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-30","2026-09-29",true,{"@type":119,"interactionType":120,"userInteractionCount":8},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":121},"ViewAction",{"@type":123,"mainEntity":124},"FAQPage",[125,131,135],{"name":126,"@type":127,"acceptedAnswer":128},"What is the purpose of Chapter 6 for the SCPX Project?","Question",{"text":129,"@type":130},"It provides a high-level description of the key elements of the regulatory framework applicable to the SCPX Project and its design updates, focusing on regulatory context rather than exhaustive analysis.","Answer",{"name":132,"@type":127,"acceptedAnswer":133},"How do the IGA and HGA apply to the SCPX Project?",{"text":134,"@type":130},"The SCPX Project is implemented under the IGA and the HGA, where the IGA is binding international law between contracting states and the HGA governs Georgia’s domestic law for the project.",{"name":136,"@type":127,"acceptedAnswer":137},"Which types of standards and documents does the chapter consider?",{"text":138,"@type":130},"It covers national legislation, selected international and regional conventions, selected international standards and guidance (including IFC policies), and BP corporate policies, along with relevant environmental, health and safety principles described in the agreements.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":101,"og:type":141,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":112,"og:description":66},"article",{"robots":143,"canonical":101},"index,follow",{"doc_id":61,"site_id":75},1790765952]
