Decision to impose duties on Egypt imports needs to be revamped-JCC

Ammon News - Head of the Jordan Chamber of Commerce (JCC), Nael Kabariti, called on revamping the gov't decision to impose fees and instate procedures on Egyptian imports to Jordan and transit traffic en route Aqaba port and Jordanian territory, which is set to enter force as of the beginning of next September.

In a statement on Wednesday, Kabariti noted Jordan's commercial sector supports national economy's interests, if the decision reflects positively on the economic sectors, however if it backfires, it should be revisited.

JCC, he noted, respects the principle of reciprocity to reduce obstacles imposed by the Egyptian side on transit movement of Jordanian goods, and flow of Jordanian commodities to the Egyptian market.

In addition, he urged the gov't to put economic dimension at the forefront of its decisions and take into account interests of the Kingdom's various sectors.

Noting to alternatives to the transit movement en route Jordanian territory to the Arab Gulf states, he said these solutions mean that if the decision is implemented, it will negatively affect national economy's interests, transport and transit sectors on the medium and long term.
