State Council discusses 3 draft laws

Muscat: The State Council on Tuesday discussed the “Draft National Geospatial Data and Information Law,” the “Draft Unified Industrial Regulation Law for the GCC States,” and the “Draft Amendment to the Unified Customs Law for the GCC States”.

Additionally, the Council reviewed a study by the Education and Research Committee titled “Enhancing the Quality of Educational Attainment and Mastery of Competencies and Skills in School Education in the Sultanate of Oman: An Analytical and Legislative Study.”

These discussions took place during the fourth session of the third regular sitting of the eighth term, presided over by Sheikh Abdulmalik bin Abdullah Al Khalili, Chairman of the State Council.

In his opening speech, the Chairman noted that several of the draft laws are specific in nature as they are linked to a shared legislative system among the member states of the GCC.

He urged the permanent and special committees to expedite their studies and proposals to ensure they are ready for discussion in upcoming sessions.
