The return of the integrated car sales system.
"Economic World":
The Prosecutor's Office in Tehran revived the issue of government intervention in the sales network by setting a three-month deadline for the Ministry of Safety to create a central vehicle supply system.
This decision, which includes locally produced, assembled and imported cars, is a reminder of the experience of the "integrated sales system" in recent years; Although the system was created with the goal of transparency, it faced problems such as long waiting times and failure to resolve production issues.
From a legal point of view, the entry of the attorney's office citing the protection of the public's rights (Article 156 of the Constitution) to prevent pre-sale without a license, is defensible; However, existing laws (such as the executive regulations of the Automobile Consumer Rights Protection Act) and the Competition Council's guidelines have allowed suppliers to use their own systems, and the obligation to monopolize sales in a government system faces uncertainty about the qualifications and regulations.
Experts emphasize that there is a difference between an "online monitoring system" to control the licenses and obligations of companies and "direct intervention and monopoly in sales".
What the car market needs more than government concentration is transparency, debt control and reform of production and pricing policies.
