Regulation Amending the Regulation on Price Tariffs for Goods and Services Produced by Artisans and Craftsmen
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This amendment updates the 2008 regulation governing how Turkish artisans and craftsmen set maximum prices for their goods and services. Chambers of artisans prepare new price tariffs based on documented cost calculations, which are then reviewed and approved by the relevant Union of Chambers. The Ministry of Trade is granted explicit authority and must provide its opinion on certain tariffs, particularly for bread and simit (Turkish bagel). If the Ministry objects, the tariff is automatically referred to a provincial reconciliation commission. The reconciliation commission must consider local socio-economic conditions, current costs, average profit margins, and the inflation targets in the Medium-Term Program when making binding decisions.
