He also said the provincial directorate of industry, mines and commerce should put the matter on track to expedite the work.

Stop bidding in the High Council of the Environment

In July 2016, the head of the Central Provincial Organization of Mines and Commerce told the Hamshahri Newspaper: "The reform of the Mouteh area has not been completed in time, and the proposals submitted to the High Council of the Environment have been stopped."

Mohammad Reza Hajipour, added: Due to failure to swap the eighteen and fourteen hectare area of ​​Mouteh with the seven hundred and fifty-three hectare area and problems created for business owners in this sector, consultations were taken to remove existing barriers to easier operation of industrial units. Which has had good results.

He said: "The environment was renewing the license for the units located in Ghoravar industrial town of Nimar annually, which caused problems for the units, but based on environmental consultations, the existing units were allowed to operate for three years. It will be renewed so that there is no problem in continuing this activity.

The head of the provincial industry, mining and trade organization said: Due to the problems of the industrial town "Ghalavar" with the environmental organization, there is no development plan for that area. There is hope that the main problem in this region will be resolved in a radical way so that we can see faster growth of industries in Nemur.

International Exhibition of Neighborhood Stone The Shadows of Executive Disputes

Hojatoleslam Alireza Salimi, representative of the people of Neighborhoods and Delijan in the Islamic Consultative Assembly on problems in industrial and conservation areas of Nimar said: Stone Exhibition was upgraded to International Exhibition with the consent of the Minister of Industry, Mining and Trade but due to the fact Being in the Mouteh Protected Area continues to face difficulties.

He continued: The first phase of the exhibition ground has been rented out to private investors, while private investors have spent more than 100 billion riyals on construction and space preparation last year. And the subject of the second phase is also uncertain.

Salimi also added that the International Stone Exhibition is a special privilege for the province, while the transfer of the International Stone Exhibition to the National Anthem has also been contested by Tehran and Isfahan and should be resolved as soon as possible to resolve problems and disputes between the executive agencies.

Referring to the agreement on the exchange of land located in the Mouteh Protected Area of ​​Nimar with its rural areas, the Majlis said: The meeting of the Supreme Environmental Council, which should be chaired by the President, has not been held in the past seven months. And the opportunity for the city and province to hold a dignified international stone fair this year is slim, and all officials should bear in mind that the dignity of the city and province's stone industry depends on the successful holding of the first international fair.

The arrival of the judiciary and the oversight bodies has made it difficult to dispose of the exhibition grounds

Majid Sharqi, Director General of Roads and Urban Planning of Markazi Province, pointing out problems in transferring the exhibition land to the activists of Nemar Sang Exhibition, said: In the discussion of the exhibition grounds, we have already handed over the first phase to investors and the second phase has been determined after the work is completed. The first phase will be outsourced but after the end of the first year's lease, the lease has not been renewed.

He added: Golpayegan City Prosecutor sent a letter to the District Attorney regarding the location of the Mouteh Protected Area and demanded that the exhibition be stopped and the former Director General of Environmental Protection sent a letter. Declares it inadmissible.

Sharqi also said: "We are also currently without a contract because it is impossible to extend the contract and the second phase of the contract. With the follow up of the former governor and the current district officials, we have not yet reached the conclusion and the supervisory bodies have entered the case. They are seeking to legalize it.

The Director General of Roads and Urban Development of Markazi Province also stated: According to the Judicial System, it is proposed to hold a meeting with the Prosecutor in the city. The earth will be finalized.

The Director General of Road and Urban Development of Markazi Province noted: “We have no problems with the assignment and we have to follow up by holding a joint meeting with the city authorities and the Chief of Environmental Protection and the City Prosecutor.

The international brand of stone exhibition will enhance the city and province

"The conflict between Nimaru's urban and industrial land and Mouteh's protected area is a sensitive issue," said Ali Zeinwand, the governor of Mahallat city. "The ongoing pursuit of officials can be a prelude to resolving the problem and continuing work at Nimar Industrial Gate and International Fair. Be stone.

He continued: The successful and strong holding of the first stone exhibition after receiving international approval, is the field of activity and even planning for the future of the city stone industry because the same international brand will promote the city stone industry and province.

Zainwind described the main problem of swapping land and expanding the industries of Nimmer as having administrative bureaucracy, stating that anyone who made the initial decision to locate the city that is the province's best economic point in the protected area should be held accountable and everyone should To know that, despite the large number of applicants for investment in the region, there will be a huge surge in employment if the problem is solved.

The governor of Mahallat said: "In the past, an aerial map was prepared without regard to the potential of the area for the protected area, while there are no wild areas up to kilometers away."

He emphasized that the main reason for the authorities' insistence on solving the problem is the lack of a wildlife area near the city and the industries of the city, and as soon as the head of the Environmental Protection Agency informed of the exchange, he agreed to the exchange.

Referring to the approval of the Governor, the President of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Secretariat of the Supreme Council of the Environment, Zinnie Vand said: "The land swap has been virtually resolved, but unfortunately the meeting of the Supreme Council for the Environment to be chaired by the President has not been held. According to officials, the first urgent agenda of the High Council of the Environment at the national level will be to swap urban and rural land.

The Governor of Mahallat said: "Given the agreements, we will not delay the exhibition and follow-up to the land swap because people with special personal funds have done special work for the province due to the lack of executive agencies. Of course, the problems are just in the administrative maze.

License for permanent and International Exhibition Center of Iranian Stone in Neymar

Executive Director of Nimnar International Exhibition Pointing to the opening of last year's exhibition with the Minister of Industry, Mining and Commerce said: The theme of internationalization of the exhibition at last year's opening ceremony was the title and consent of Mr. Minister after obtaining many permits permanent exhibition center. And the International Stone of Iran has been issued in half by the Trade Promotion Organization; the flawless execution of the exhibition requires a prompt assignment of land by the authorities to carry out the development projects.

He said: According to the company Nimvr stone exhibition complex in three international exhibitions so far about 400 foreign visitors have registered to attend the exhibition, while the physical space of the exhibition requires special construction work.

Executive Director of Sang Nimar International Exhibition also added: According to the plan, the exhibition is to be opened with the presence of the Vice President and the status of the exhibition requires development activities and we must act seriously and quickly and everyone should be aware that The implementation of many on-site and off-site development projects requires a quick resolution of the land problem.

The exhibition land has been leased with the consent of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development

Behnam Nikfar, Managing Director of Iran International Stone Exhibition on the problems arising in the land transfer discussion, said: "Previously, with the consent of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, 30 hectares of land, in two phases of 15 hectares, was transferred to the investor complex for the construction of the exhibition. The planning of the first phase was quickly implemented, but today the semi-finished stone exhibition has been hampered by the failure of the second phase.

He continued: According to the surveys carried out in 2010 Nimvar Industrial Zone has been removed from Mouteh Protected Area and I think the maps of the area should be seriously investigated by the authorities.

Nikfar emphasized: the request for land has been before 2010 and if we can proceed according to the date of the application, there will be no problem with the land transfer but officials believe that because the first contract with the exhibition complex was rented and legally The land has been leased after 90 years, no definitive land can be given, and the half-timbered exhibition complex must continue to operate as a leasehold, making it difficult to invest.

Solving the problem of swapping urban and industrial land in Nimar City depends on the meeting of the High Council of the Environment

According to the Supreme Council of the Environment (ECO) surveys as the main reference point for the designation of protected areas and the only reference to reviewing and licensing the eighteen-fourteen-hectare Mouteh area with the seven-hundred-and-fifty-three-hectare area of ​​Baluchamah in the past seven months, only one meeting apparently The ceremony was chaired by the President last March without a special agenda and resolution, and the issue of swapping urban and rural land in Nimvere was not on the agenda.

The High Council of the Environment is formal and inefficient

Earlier in November 2015, the late Dr. Mohammad Bagher Sadogh, former Deputy Director of the Department of Natural Environment and Biodiversity of the EPA, had said in a conversation with the City Council on the formation of the Supreme Council of the Environment: But it has been largely ineffective in recent decades, far from the mission it has been and has never been more than twice as long as the Eleventh Government; by law, the Environment Agency has to perform and be accountable to the Supreme Council. It has practically become a tool to legalize many abuses and vagaries It has been lost.

He said: The four true members of the council nominated by the head of the environmental organization are often unaware of the organization's status and lack environmental knowledge and experience, and even the body of the organization does not recognize them and is a form of assistance to the head of the organization. Meetings do not attend.

Sadough states: When the High Council was merged into the Commission under the Ninth Government and its duties were transferred to the Commission, I objected to the merger in an interview published on the front page of the Hamshahri Newspaper, but now with the passage of time and experience over the last two years, the High Council has functioned. Given its nominal revival, and considering all aspects, it was a positive and God-pleasing merger because at least a government commission is formed every week and there is no formalities and it is easier to raise environmental issues there, as most Members are respected deputy ministers and are practically involved in environmental issues The Executive Affairs are positive we can make the right decision reached on the Commission and approved by the Commission following the Committee of Ministers, the Council authority over and above the environment.
