We relay them all to our Ministry.”
- Hisarcıklıoğlu outlined common demands
TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, speaking on the common demands: “Due to the fall in oil prices, economic stagnation and coronavirus, GEKAP should be postponed until the end of 2020. To clarify the issues that create confusion in regards to the application of the regulation. Lowering the costs of GEKAP and re-determination of the amounts. The declaration should be issued once a year, as in packaging waste in the pre-GEKAP period. GEKAP should be charged from manufacturers instead of marketers. No VAT should be applied to GEKAP cost. To reduce the penalties under the declaration to a more reasonable level and to allow errors to be corrected.”
