Date Closed: Oct. 31, 2009

Status: Closed With Outputs

Description

To date, CAO has received 33 complaints in relation to the project ranging from individuals to communities to local organizations. In August 2008, CAO received a complaint from a representative of the Georgian Young Lawyers Association (GYLA), signed by 31 residents of the village of Vale, regarding reinstatement of their land following completion of the BTC pipeline. The complaint claims that BTC Co. has not fulfilled the terms of its “Guide to Land Acquisition and Compensation”, which commits to undertaking a final inspection – together with the primary owners/users of the land – of the whole pipeline territory to ensure its proper reinstatement and suitability for agricultural activity. The complainants also question why BTC’s compensation calculations for certain plots are based on 2002 market prices, and are not commensurate with 2007-08 prices.
