The Signing of the MOU of Single Window Implementation in the Aras Free Industrial and Commercial Zone

In order to facilitate, ease and speed up the commercial procedure and develop e-commerce and economy in the Aras Free Industrial and Commercial Zone, an MOU for the implementation and execution of the Single Window of Commerce in the Aras Free Industrial and Commercial Zone was signed between the Iranian Scientific Committee of E-commerce and the Aras Free Industrial and Commercial Zone Organization. Based on this agreement, a Single Window of commerce will be launched in this area in the span of three years and in 4 phases.

This MOU was signed on the sidelines of the 19^th National Conference for the Development of Non-oil Exports of Iran between Mr. Mohammad Sadeq Mofatteh, the Chairman of the Board of the Iranian Scientific Committee of E-commerce and Dr. Sadeq Najafi, the director of the Aras Free Industrial and Commercial Zone.

It is worth mentioning that per article 13 of the executive policies of the statute of e-commerce in Iran, one of the free commercial zones of Iran was instructed to have been made electronic by March 2002 and this number was to reach two by March 2003, an objective which was not achieved. Hopefully, with the cooperation and collaboration of the respected members of the Committee, this aim will be reached to cause the further development of e-commerce and economy in the country and facilitate commercial transactions.
