Tehran, Sept 28, IRNA -- A bill on questioning the Iranian auto
industry is likely to be approved in the Islamic Consultative Assembly
(Majlis) as some 150 members of the Iranian parliament have agreed
with it after several months of delay, said a morning daily in Tehran on
Tuesday.
The English-language 'Tehran Times' said the bill had initially
been rejected by the Majlis Commission of Industries and Mines due to
disagreement of a reformist MP in the commission, according to MP
Saeed Aboutaleb.
The daily added that Iran's auto industry was subjected to a fast
growth in the last decade by accelerating its activities for
assembling and manufacturing auto parts from various brands with the
tendency toward the French Peugeot.
It noted that the industry made these attempts in order to
materialize the macro policy of localization of foreign technologies
in the field of auto making.
