According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, choosing the slogan of the year entitled "Production, Support and Obstacles" among other priorities of the country this year, which in fact should be a continuation of the slogan "Production Leap" and "Production Boom" in the past two years He pointed out the need for the officials and officials of the executive and legislative bodies to pay double attention to improving the country's production capacities and removing obstacles in their way as the only cure for overcoming the current dangerous situation.

Studies show that production in Iran has many problems, but the most important problems of production can be found in 9 headings: "disruptive rules and regulations and decisions to create the hour", "supply of raw materials", "mandatory pricing", "banking system", "problems" "The country's transportation system", "overdue debts of production units", "liquidity supply", "social security" and "tax". In the first part, following the problems of production, we have dealt with the issue of disruptive regulations.

182 thousand contradictory legal articles

Accordingly, as mentioned, it is one of the main obstacles, licenses, procedures and surpluses that not only distort the prospects of business growth, deprive them of the possibility of long-term planning and prevent the attraction of investment, but in general It does not allow the use of existing capacities and, of course, the increase of capacities. Therefore, policy-making to improve production and investment capacities will not be successful without removing the barriers and challenges of this sector and pursuing targeted support programs.

It is noteworthy that in our country, in addition to the issuance of laws and directives overnight, the previous laws, which sometimes contradict these new procedures, have not been removed and remain in force, which in itself has become a major challenge.

In this regard, Mohammad Baqer Mojtabaei, Secretary General of the Iranian Chamber of Trade Unions, says: "Unfortunately, we have 182,000 contradictory legal articles in the country that are in conflict with each other." It seems, therefore, that disruptive laws must either be stopped for reform or amended during implementation.

Deregulation is as important as lifting sanctions

The situation of issuing regulations and instructions in the country is such that, according to the head of the Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Iran's economy has become a factory for the production of laws and directives. Massoud Khansari says: "The fact is that cumbersome regulations and numerous and sometimes contradictory directives have had very negative effects on the Iranian economy, some of which have not been less than the sanctions imposed on the Iranian economy, because these barriers to activists." Has made the economy very confused and has become a factor for the growth of some sectors of the Iranian economy, including exports; For this reason, the removal of redundant regulations is the same as the lifting of foreign sanctions, and its removal will remove barriers to the business environment.

According to him, if the government can reduce the volume of regulations this year and the parliament makes the enactment of each law conditional on the repeal of at least two other laws, some of the redundant directives and instructions will be removed due to the removal of cumbersome laws. And this is a huge work in the field of improving the country's business environment and moving towards better economic growth.

Obstruction depends on the reform and consolidation of disruptive laws

Ali Firoozi, the head of the Business Environment Improvement Center at the Ministry of Economy, also stated that we have identified disruptive laws and regulations in different places. We are the parliament.

He emphasizes: Relying solely on deregulation means that while working, we encounter a large barrier or procedure, behind which there is a law that must be removed; But this year's debate goes beyond mere deregulation. We will also emphasize the rules, regulations, procedures, interpretability of the rules and to remove them.

The laws of the hour are internal sanctions

Also, Abolfazl Roghani, the head of the Industries Commission of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce, says: The unfavorable business environment and the tastes of the executive apparatus are a major obstacle to production; The situation of bloated and annoying laws in the country shows that the view and idea of ​​the country's officials has not been formed in order to strengthen production.

He emphasizes: Officials use the tools of the law to create internal sanctions. In fact, the law is a double-edged sword, which, while helpful, is sometimes used to the detriment of production; Overnight decisions such as export control, foreign exchange liabilities, etc. are among the issues that have made production difficult.

Preparation of rules and directives without considering the opinions of the manufacturer

Hooman Hajipour, Deputy Minister of Business of Tehran Chamber of Commerce, also says: The production of directives and instructions in our country is done without consulting economic activists. Therefore, it always creates many obstacles to production. If the government or the parliament is going to do anything, it must announce and determine the task in advance.

He emphasizes: In general, in order to communicate any instruction or circular, the opinion of the members of specialized organizations or chambers must be obtained, and it is not possible to produce a circular or law without considering the opinions of that section.

The decisions to create the hour have exhausted production

Also, Abdolvahab Sahlabadi, the head of Iran's Chamber of Industry, Mines and Commerce, says: "The issuance of new and numerous regulations and directives is one of the issues that have created problems for manufacturing companies." In Iran, the necessary support is not provided to industrial units, especially small industrial units, and the most important thing about these units is that if the government does not help, at least it will not bother.

He emphasizes: "Manufacturers and industries need the support of the three powers to continue their activities, but unfortunately, the decisions of the people and the differences between the parliament and the government have exhausted them."
