Import is allowed in these cases... and exceptions for urgent orders!

An additional estimated table for economic operators to ensure the continuity of production activity will allow economic operators in emergency and urgent cases to submit additional requests for the acquisition of raw materials and equipment through additional estimated tables if they are not included in the semi-annual tables, to ensure the continuity of their activity and avoid any shortage in the market. This mechanism comes as part of an organization that relies on estimated tables 'BPE' every six months to cover production needs, prioritizing local products in general and allowing imports only when necessary to cover shortages and ensure the availability of goods. Said the member of the National People's Assembly, member of the Finance and Budget Committee, Tahar Ben Ali, in a statement to 'Al-Shorouk'.
