AMMAN— Head
of the
Jordan Exporters Association (JEA), Ahmad Khudari, stressed the
importance of the government's recent decision to implement principle of
reciprocity with countries that impose technical and administrative obstacles
to entry of Jordanian industrial exports, according to the Jordan News Agency,
Petra.

In his
interview with "Petra," on Saturday, Khudari contended this step
achieves justice and fairness for the national industry, especially with
countries that impede flow of Jordanian goods into their markets by imposing complicated
procedures and restrictions.
This
decision, which will take effect as of the beginning of next year, is the result
of repeated demands by Jordan's industrial sector over years, which is viewed
as one of its most basic right and an opportunity to stimulate national
economy, Khudari noted.
This step
would compel the countries from which Jordan imports to reconsider their
restrictions on national exports by facilitating their flow into their markets,
he noted.
Imposing a
prior registration on the Kingdom's imports contributes to increasing the share
of the national industry within the local market, which is reflected in
increased production and creation of more job opportunities in light of high
unemployment rates, according to Khudair.
The
government, he hoped, will continue to support the national industry by
applying reciprocity with countries that impede the entry of Jordanian products
into their markets.
Khudari said
restrictions imposed by countries, especially Arab nations, are
"negatively" affecting national exports and threatening to lose
important markets to the Jordanian industry.
Minister of
Industry, Trade and Supply Youssef Shamali had informed the industrial sector
that Jordan would begin early next year to apply reciprocity with countries
that put obstacles, in the way of the entry of Jordanian industrial exports.
