According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, the Attorney General announced on Saturday that arranging a power of attorney for handing over the deputy's business cards is a crime of smuggling. Earlier, the head of the Judiciary said in a meeting of the Supreme Judicial Council regarding the judicial follow-up of the situation of exported currencies that have not yet been discharged: Are government agencies located?

Rental or disposable business cards are not a new issue among the country's economic problems, as the media has repeatedly mentioned that the "rental business card" causes the accumulation of customs debt of 1,200 billion tomans, tax debt of 28,000 billion tomans and smuggling of billions. Commodity dollars have been around for the last few years; But new remarks by the central bank governor have once again brought the issue of business cards to the forefront.

Abdul Nasser Hemmati, Governor of the Central Bank, on Monday, October 19, at the 99th meeting of the government with the private sector, referring to the sanctions situation in the country and responding to importers' requests for foreign exchange, called for the return of export currencies. 250 people have been referred to the judiciary; With a total debt of about $ 7 billion, these individuals did not return even one dollar of export currency to the country.

According to Hemmati, according to the latest announcement of the Ministry of Intelligence, 70 detainees were not only not producers, but also from the poor and "sleeping cartons", and in fact $ 7 billion worth of exported goods were taken out of the country through disposable business cards. Is.

The reaction of the Chamber of Commerce to the remarks of the Governor of the Central Bank

Following the publication of the statements of the Governor of the Central Bank, the Chamber of Commerce, which was in charge of issuing business cards and in fact blamed itself for the negligence in issuing business cards, showed a relatively strong reaction. At first, Shafei, the head of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, wrote a letter to the governor of the Central Bank requesting the disclosure of the names and information of 70 sleeping cards with business cards.

In the text of Shafi'i's letter to Hemmati, it is stated: "This issue has been raised by your Excellency in other circles as well ..... Please request the full details of 250 exporters, especially 70 exporters, according to your Excellency, to mention the sleeping carton by mentioning the business card number. "The amount of exports and their export dates should be provided to the Iranian Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible."

But the story does not end here, and the Tehran Chamber of Commerce, in a separate text, has called for transparency in this regard. In the text of the announcement of the Tehran Chamber of Commerce, an attempt has been made to blame some of the country's officials who are seeking to supply the goods needed by the people and seeking the return of export currency to the official trade cycle of the country.

In part, the letter reads: "In a day when dear Iran is exposed to the most unjust economic sanctions of the enemy and economic activists, as front-line soldiers of the Economic Front, are waging jihad to remove the bottlenecks caused by the application of these restrictions, unfortunately some Economic officials have misinterpreted the current situation and possibly in order to cover up individual and systemic inefficiencies and justify non-fulfillment of their responsibilities, and have raised marginal and inaccurate issues such as issuing business cards to unqualified persons and even calling it a "sleeping carton". "Business card holders use it."

In another part of the letter from the Tehran Chamber of Commerce, it is stated: "Unfortunately, these officials intend to attack the largest and oldest private sector institution, which is both historically and credit-historically authentic, the cause of the inability to meet the country's foreign exchange needs. Introduce merchants to servants who have used all their material and spiritual resources to ensure the livelihood and welfare of the people. Announcing the existence of 70 "sleeping cartons" with business cards among more than 40,000 economically active members of chambers of commerce across the country (less than 0.2% of business card holders) is a misunderstanding of a process if the issue is proven to be true. During which, with the strict implementation of paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 10 of the Executive Regulations of the Export and Import Regulations Law and after the approval of the Ministry of Silence, a business card is issued to persons whose documents are complete and economic actors with a card, under the supervision of regulatory bodies. "Different states and governments gain the possibility of international trade."

How is the validation of applicants done?

Despite strong reactions from Chamber of Commerce officials, some of the letters do not appear to have been mentioned in the letters. Investigations show that the implementation of Articles 2 and 3 of the Executive Regulations of the Export and Import Regulations Law has not been done properly and we are now facing exporters of sleeping cartons.

It is noteworthy that the inquiries related to the validation of the issuance and renewal of business cards will be done systematically in the comprehensive trade system from August of this year, but before this date, all steps of issuing business cards have been done by the Chamber of Commerce Card renewal is not complete.

Based on the available evidence, receiving the documents of the business card applicants by the chambers of commerce before August of this year was done manually and without inquiring even about the educational documents of the individuals, it was enough to receive the inquiry from the Tax Affairs Organization; Because the basis for receiving membership fees and the right to issue business cards has been the tax returns of companies and individuals. More interestingly, in case of any deficiencies in the applicants' file, a business card was issued to them only by obtaining an undertaking.

The violation of 250 people in returning the export currency or the violation of a small number of hoarding of basic goods of the people is not written by 40,000 economically active members of chambers of commerce across the country, but it can not be done in the circumstances acknowledged by the officials Apparently he ignored a few.

It seems that the economic activists of the country are not satisfied that due to the financing of the activities of the Chamber of Commerce, a business card will be issued to any person who does not have legal authority and the credibility of the businessmen and businessmen of the country will be damaged; So, if there is a demand, the officials of the Chamber of Commerce should demand from the executive body of accreditation whether they have been careful enough in issuing business cards or have made the inquiries authorized by law?

Investigating the role of the Ministry of Silence in the case of disposable business cards

According to Article 3 of the Export and Import Regulations Law and Article 10 of the Executive Regulations of the said law, the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade is responsible for approving the business card as the country's foreign trade license. According to the news published about the export by the business card of 70 sleeping cards in 1397 and 1398, in addition to the Chamber of Commerce as the custodian of the issuance, the Ministry of Silence should be responsible for how the business card is approved for the mentioned people.

In other words, although the process of issuing and renewing a business card has been done in the Chamber of Commerce system since 2011 and these events are a kind of product of the defects of the Chamber of Commerce system; But the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade, as the certifier of business cards, must also be held accountable for its performance in previous years.

The judiciary had warned!

In the past, judicial officials have repeatedly warned of the dangers of misusing and renting business cards, declaring that even granting an official power of attorney to transfer business card powers and privileges through notaries is a criminal offense.

It seems that despite the request of the Chamber of Commerce to receive the names of currency violators and to take an ignorant and right-wing gesture, the officials of the chamber can not deny their responsibility for the issued business cards and shirk their responsibilities.

When does the rental business card expire?

Although public opinion expects the judiciary to deal severely with violators so that those who plunder their national resources are not immune from punishment, but with the launch of an integrated credit rating system from August this year and the correct role of the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade, it is hoped that we will no longer see the recurrence of these events and the plunder of the country's foreign exchange resources.
