Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - The cabinet on Monday decided to limit the importation of cigarettes and "mu‘assel" production machinery and their "non-retail" production inputs to established and licensed factories and to those that will be licensed later in customs zones, development areas, free zones or the Aqaba Economic Zone.

In a meeting chaired by Prime Minister, Omar Razzaz, the cabinet also decided to give tobacco and its products "cigarettes, mu‘assel, etc." produced in development zones, when offered for domestic consumption, the same treatment given to those produced outside these zones, in terms of fees and taxes in case of entering the local market, in accordance with the provisions of the Investment Law.

The government stressed the need to establish tax cells in factories located in development and free zones, as currently applied in tobacco products factories located in customs areas; in order to achieve fair competition between locally manufactured products and products manufactured within the free and development zones.

In the meeting, the government endorsed two agreements with Kuwait and the government of the Republic of Fiji, on the judicial administration field and promoting bilateral relations respectively.

The cabinet also approved a number of decisions related to local issues.
