Zahle parliamentary bloc condemn Syria’s import ban on Lebanese goods

Share:

The Zahle parliamentary bloc voiced on Sunday concern over the Syrian government’s decision to stop importing Lebanese goods to Syria.

The bloc issued a statement in which it stated ” the decision might affect the food and agriculture industries in the Bekaa and cause losses to a lot of people in the region.”

Zahle MPs also said that “this unilateral decision contradicts the Arab convention for facilitating trade exchange.”

The bloc called on the Lebanese government to “contact Syrian authorities and address the issue.”

Syria in late September began imposing new limitations on imports coming into the country in an effort to prop up its currency reserves and help domestic industries, according to local reports

      Indeed Geo … I am certain ‘verified-safe’ foods can be accepted in most countries. Now IS the time for the exporters to broaden their horizons, I think. Find the good salespeople, and get them out there.
       And imagine if Cruise ships were allowed to dock for food-replenishment in Lebanon … wow.
      Oh … should say ‘were not afraid to dock …’…. hmmm.  Well, you know what I mean.
      This is, of course, one of the ‘joys’ of being in the ‘UN circle’ of influence … going along with modern ‘right-thinking’ on matters of broad human importance … and after all, don’t most in Liban wish for this to continue and to grow ? I seem to remember something about the UN in the news recently ….

        5th, sometimes good comes out of bad, you should not be in business to serve only one customer as he can go sideways on you at any time, everytime i  get asked about exclusivity for my products i say i am exclusive to all my customers. exclusivity works both ways. you touched a childhood nerve when you brought up  cruise ships as my fondest memories from a shortlived childhood was sittig on the balcony and watching dozens of ships waiting their turn to unload at beirut port and frequently a steam train going up and down the coast.must have been somewhere 1974. demis rousos,phantom of the paradise,,,good old days i dont think they make them any more. 🙁

    this is better for the lebaneese they can get more money for there products elsewhere ; as classified the best buissiness people in the world they will seek other markets where they can make more money  like tue us , saudi arabia, dubai, , europe etc….
    anyway syria,s economy is going down to zero , and the people are  broke ,   , after all these sanctions forced on it by the us and europe,  the lebaneese  have to look for different market anyway , because  being broke and banned is the same thing ,when they do,nt have any money any way .

      Well … there’s a good market for Lebanese pine nuts overseas, I took some with me once and people really liked them.  There’s plenty in Lebanon, just learn how to sell them overseas.  Let Syria stew in Bashar’s juices.
