Regulation Amending the Regulation on the Arrangement of Maximum Price Tariffs for Goods and Services Produced by Traders and Industrialists
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This 2026 amendment updates the Turkish regulation governing how chambers of commerce and industry set maximum price tariffs for goods and services produced by their members. Key updates include the formal recognition of the Ministry of Trade (Bakanlık), detailed procedures for tariff approval involving management boards, assemblies, and professional committees, and mandatory consultation with the Ministry for bread and simit pricing. A six-member reconciliation commission chaired by the highest local administrative authority now resolves disputes, considering socio-economic conditions, costs, profit margins, and inflation targets from the Medium-Term Program. Tariffs represent maximum allowable prices and cannot be waived by chambers. Objections by local authorities must be filed within 15 days, with court appeal available if the commission rejects a tariff.
