The government does not need parliamentary approval to import cars

According to Eqtesadonline, quoting Tasnim, Mohammad Reza Mirtaj al-Dini, Deputy Chairman of the Program and Budget Commission, said about the removal of the parliament’s budget decree on importing passenger cars in 1401: “The main issue regarding car import is that in addition to the government itself agreeing to import cars There is basically no law banning the import of cars.

He pointed out: The issue of banning car imports goes back to a time when the previous government, due to lack of foreign exchange resources, announced in a letter that car imports will be banned until May 1401. Therefore, due to the improvement of the country’s currency conditions, the 13th government has the right to re-import cars without renewing the said section.

The General Assembly’s opposition is merely focused on the plan to organize the car market

Emphasizing that the government does not need the approval of the High Supervisory Board of the Expediency Council to import cars this year, the Deputy Chairman of the Program and Budget Commission of the Majles said: Which is not in the hands of the government.

Mirtaja al-Dini, in response to the question that if the government did not have a legal ban on car imports in 1401, then basically why the parliament had a resolution for this purpose in the 1401 budget bill, said: Since car imports have been banned for several years due to currency problems The intention of the parliament was to pave the way for car imports with its resolution and be a kind of incentive for the government, but in any case, this resolution did not come to fruition, but nevertheless, the expectations that the parliament resolution has created in the society can be met. Encourage the government to organize the car market.

He added: “Of course, considering that there are only two months left until the end of the President’s order to the Ministry of Industry to import cars, it is expected that the Ministry of Silence will take the necessary measures to start importing cars to the country by the end of May.”

The government can transfer the revenue from the import of passenger cars to the treasury

In response to the question that, considering the elimination of the resources provided in the 1401 budget for the import of passenger cars, the import of cars will not be legally prohibited by the government, the deputy chairman of the Program and Budget Commission stated: A figure of about 40,000 billion tomans was considered for the resources obtained from car imports, but since the Guardian Council was likely to oppose this decision, citing the opinion of the diagnostic assembly, it reduced the figure of resources to about 32,000 billion tomans, which is only Heavy machinery, buses and wagons will be imported.

Mirtaja al-Dini continued: “Given that a quota is provided for the total financial revenues of the government, until this revenue ceiling is filled, the government is free to deposit the surplus revenue sources to the treasury.” Therefore, the government can transfer the revenue from the import of Sura cars to the treasury under this quota, and there is no legal ban on the import of passenger cars.
