Tehran (IP) - Iran's member of Parliament said that car imports would be regulated in order to support the national car manufacturing industry.

Iran PressIran news: A member of the Industries and Mines Committee of the Islamic Consultative Assembly said in a report that car imports account for less than five percent of Iran's domestic market.

In line with the objections raised by the Guardian Council, Ruhollah Izadkhah, in defense of the commission's plans, added: "In the last 15 years, less than 700,000 vehicles have been imported, while domestic production has passed over 15 million units."

The member of the Industries and Mines Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly stressed that the financing system should be regulated in such a way that there would be no pressure on the foreign exchange system.

He also pointed out that the condition for importing a car is high fuel consumption B and above and a quality of 4 stars.

He said: "There have been defenders for the production of new and electric cars."

Ruhollah Izadkhah emphasized that the Ministry of Industry, Mine, and Trade has no plan for imports and increasing domestic production is on the agenda. Imports must be such that they do not inflame the domestic market.

At the end of the report, a vote was taken, which was approved by the representatives of the nation with 4 for, 2 against, and 4 abstentions.
