The resolution, which was approved by 172 votes in favor, 38 against and 3 abstentions from 243 deputies present in the parliament, was sent to the Guardian Council for final approval, and now the Guardian Council has some objections to it.

Hadi Tahan Nazif, the spokesman of the Guardian Council, stated about these objections: The issue was discussed in the meeting of the Guardian Council and the members of the council had ambiguities regarding the resolution in one or two cases. For example, there were ambiguities about importing without transferring currency, because it involved different gaps, and the parliament was asked to make the issue a little more precise and transparent.

Tahan Nazif added: “Of course, the High Board for Supervising the Good Implementation of the General Policies of the System, which is based in the Assembly, has announced in a letter the cases of contradiction with the policies that we are obliged to report to the Parliament according to the regulations.” The panel considered Article 4 to be contrary to the policies of national production and protection of Iranian labor and capital, and the policies of the resistance economy and the policies of the administrative system. He knows that these cases will be announced to the parliament.

He noted: “Overall, we in the Guardian Council had one or two ambiguities about the same decision as we announced, but the High Supervisory Board has told us more discrepancies. Therefore, the resolution will be returned to the parliament, and if these issues, including the ambiguities of the Guardian Council and the discrepancies of the High Supervisory Board, are amended and approved by the parliament, the Guardian Council will review the resolution again.

The objections are formal, not unconstitutional

Regarding the Guardian Council’s objections to the conditional car import decision, he said: “The Parliamentary Industries and Mines Commission will put the Guardian Council’s objections on the agenda and we will try to address issues such as importing cars in exchange for exporting cars and car parts.” Modify the details.

Hosseini Kia continued: “After the Industries and Mines Commission resolves the objections of the Guardian Council, the resolution will be sent to the main court of the parliament and after the objections are resolved by the deputies, it will be sent to the Guardian Council for reconsideration.”

Investigation of objections in the Parliamentary Industries Commission

Reza Taghipour, Chairman of the Industry Committee of the Parliamentary Committee on Industries and Mines, also stated about one of the objections of the Guardian Council to the parliament’s decision that the transfer of currency was not discussed in this resolution: “We did not interfere in this issue, because the transfer of currency It is done by the central bank and in accordance with the procedure and mechanism of the central bank.

Rationalization of prices and increase of car quality with the mechanism of the parliament

Mohammad Reza Pour-Ebrahimi, the head of the parliament’s economic commission, said that the parliament’s resolution on importing cars with capacity building would provide conditions for cars to be imported from the currency of car exports. Prices and quality will increase, and in contrast, any issue that leads to a monopoly will lead to a decline in quality and increase in the price of this product.

He added: “The parliament’s decision on importing cars with capacity building will provide conditions for cars to be imported into the country with the currency obtained from car exports.” According to this decree, even if the country faces currency restrictions, the currency from the export of cars and car parts can be used for import.

He added: “The more competition in the car market, the higher the quality of domestic production, prices are adjusted and people can use quality cars, and this is in several ways in favor of the national economy, people’s welfare and reducing the cost of car production.” Is. On the other hand, this can increase export capacity and improve the trade balance. This approach is important in the long and medium term.

Poorabrahimi continued: “Creating a logical relationship between the adjustment advantage in the field of import based on export capacity is one of the programs that can be put on the agenda in order to increase the quality of domestic cars and rationalize prices.”

He added: “Although in recent years the import of cars was banned due to lack of foreign exchange resources, but regardless of the country’s currency conditions, we must have a specific plan for joint cooperation of domestic automakers with foreign companies to produce quality cars for export.” , Did the import.

The head of the parliament’s economic commission pointed out that in some countries one or two types of cars are produced and exported, and in contrast, cars are imported from other countries. Joint cooperation with foreign companies through the joint venture produced cars that could be exported.

In any case, we have to wait and see what changes the MPs will eventually make to the car import plan and how the Guardian Council’s objections to car imports will be corrected.
