Panel to help streamline small units soon
A committee is to be set up to streamline licensing procedures and help small and medium size industries’ units in the Industrial Area, Deputy Premier and Minister of Industry and Energy H E Abdullah bin Hamad Al Attiyah said yesterday.
The committee to be chaired by Minister of State for Energy and Industrial Affairs, Dr. Mohammed Saleh Al Sada, has been tasked with finding solutions on licensing procedures and market policies so that SMIs can obtain maximum benefits from the Industrial Area.
He said unfortunately there have been several cases where investors have attempted to sell the plots devoted to SMIs which is illegal. “We are very strict about it,” he said, adding that strict measures will be taken against those who try to misuse the plot of land provided and will have their licenses withdrawn.
Al Attiyah was speaking at a seminar on industrial investment opportunities in Qatar which opened here yesterday. The seminar was organized by the Gulf Organization for Industrial Consulting (GOIC) in cooperation with the Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry (QCCI) and sponsored by Qatar Holding (QH).
He said there are regulations that should be respected and that it is illegal to transfer ownership of the land and license before the implementation of a project in the Industrial Area. The phase II of the Industrial Area covering approximately five million square metres area will come on stream by the end of 2009. The first phase of the Industrial Area attracted some $ 3bn investments from SMIs.
