The Ministry of Industry and Minerals has announced the approval of the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers on the "request of the Minister of Industry and Minerals to protect the national product and includes 72 products locally."
Member of the Committee on Economy and Investment parliamentary Najiba Najib said in a statement (term): The global oil prices and the policy of economic reform , the deterioration has created the need to maximize the resources of the state and rely on the federal budget on resources other than oil , such as industry to achieve self - sufficiency and export the surplus abroad.
She added Najib: the local product suffers from a weakness in enacting laws to protect and which are excellent laws implementation, and therefore we see dumping Commodity in the domestic market for goods imported products which flooded the Iraqi market, indicating that the local product is subject to the terms of standardization and quality control , which is not subject to a lot of imported goods .
She continued: that the local product is also suffering from a real weakness and imbalance in marketing to the goods of Turkish products , and Iran, Saudi Arabia and others because of the lack of political and security environment conducive to national protection product as well as the opening of border crossings and the non - application of the customs tariff by some provinces as a region of Kurdistan and the absence of revenue from adjacent to the ports of the areas that were controlled Daash.naguib also indicated that there is a weakness on the part of the government in the development of strategic plans and policies needed to support the local product and in solving the accumulated problems of weak laws that protect the product implementation of pain Lee and poor marketing of products within the country first and then to the outside, and said the government was interested in resolving the backlog at the level of politics and security problems, but they are not interested enough to support the national economy and to maximize its resources and uproot some powerful actors in making the local market , a market Tsrivia imported goods. To maximize revenue is necessary to feed the general budget of different Broalfd, and the ambition to form a national industry , the largest proportion of the tributaries of the budget.
For his part, member of the Advisory Board at the Federation of Industries of the Iraqi and European Hashim Thanon Atraqchi in an interview (range): The most important reasons for the absence of the national product of the domestic market is to buy goods and products from outside Iraq are unbalanced and random manner and without censorship or the imposition of taxes, resulting in not to the local product 's ability to compete with the imported product and cheap prices to non - taxable to the specifications of standardization and quality control
and draws Atraqchi attention to that: there is a big money laundering operations carried out by importing foreign goods cheap. He adds also: the local product need electrical power , which is staking important in the manufacturing and production processes provide, noting that the government and private banks are very far from providing loans that help production, considering that these banks loans shackle almost impossible conditions for many arguments the most important to guarantee the right of banks banks to return the money borrowed He continued: the application of economic laws is only used for publicity and talk about it in the media and joint seminars with the prime minister but not implemented even if approved by parliament , and have been authenticated by the prime minister to take advantage of some parties and blocs insisted Political endodontic of weak implementation in the legal performance of the bodies responsible for the activation of the national product protection laws.
Atraqchi said that the dumping of commodity imported from abroad for goods contributed to be local goods prices are high because of the high cost of production of the electricity prices of raw materials, and thus forced citizens to buy imported goods cheaper.
Atraqchi that: the private sector is considered the best solution to return the product and national saving by giving an important role for the private sector representatives from the unions and the involvement of this sector in turn and activate their proposals and approved implementing laws on the ground, pointing to the local industry represents between 4 and 6 percent of gross domestic product , meaning that its contribution to almost non - existent, so the involvement of the private sector will contribute to support the budget and constitutes a real tributary and one of the ways to maximize the resources of the state is noteworthy that the Ministry of Industry and minerals announced the termination of a freeze protection of domestic products law passed early in 2010, and Ca E apply its provisions formally but gradually, fearing the inclusion of materials such as the local product to meet the actual need is not enough, thus creating a state of price volatility.
