The Egyptian Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade has announced a new set of regulations for public bakeries, which will come into effect on Wednesday, September 23. The decision, issued by Minister Dr. Sherif Farouk, aims to organize the management and operation of public bakeries across the country. The new regulations are based on several laws, including Law No. 95 of 1945 and Law No. 163 of 1950.
According to the new decision, public bakery owners are not allowed to appoint agents to manage or operate their bakeries, nor can they transfer their licensed activities to others. Additionally, individuals seeking to manage or supervise public bakeries must obtain a license from the relevant Supply and Internal Trade Directorate. They must also meet specific conditions, including being of full capacity, not being a public employee, and having a good reputation.
The new regulations also outline the conditions for individuals who wish to take over the management of public bakeries or work as supervisors, agents, or representatives. These conditions include being of full capacity, not holding a public office or equivalent, and having a good reputation with no prior convictions for crimes such as bribery or crimes against the state. The license will be issued personally and is only valid for the specific bakery for which it was granted.
The decision also stipulates that the license will be canceled in the event of the licensee's death or if they lose the required conditions. Furthermore, the new regulations apply to all public bakeries and bakeries across the country. The Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade aims to improve the management and operation of public bakeries and provide better services to citizens.
The new decision amends some articles of the previous decision No. 238 of 2018, which regulates the work of public bakeries. The amendments aim to improve the management and operation of public bakeries and prevent any irregularities or manipulation. The Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade has emphasized that it will closely monitor the implementation of the new regulations.
According to the Ministry, the new regulations will help to improve the quality of services provided to citizens and prevent any potential corruption.
