Oman-Iran agreement to boost trade and investment
MUSCAT: A new Trade Preferences Agreement between the Sultanate of Oman and the Islamic Republic of Iran is set to enhance economic cooperation and deepen the commercial partnership between the two countries. The agreement aims to facilitate the flow of goods by reducing or eliminating customs duties on a number of agreed-upon products, while also simplifying trade procedures. This is expected to stimulate industrial activity, expand investment opportunities, and increase the overall volume of bilateral trade. Dr Saleh bin Saeed Masan, Under-Secretary for Commerce and Industry at the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion, described the agreement as the result of a lengthy process of coordination and negotiation guided by the directives of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik. He emphasised that the agreement reflects a careful balancing of national interests and provides a supportive environment for trade growth. Dr Masan noted that it is expected to contribute significantly to the growth of national exports, strengthen supply chains, and provide competitive production inputs to local industries. Supporting this view, Khamis bin Abdullah al Farsi, Advisor for Legal Affairs at the Ministry, confirmed that the agreement was drafted in alignment with both domestic legislation and international treaties to which Oman is a party. He stressed that the agreement does not conflict with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Economic Agreement and was designed to safeguard national security and economic interests. Al Farsi explained that the drafting process involved extensive coordination with various government agencies, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Economy, and the Royal Oman Police's Directorate General of Customs. The final agreement includes provisions for the reduction of customs tariffs on a broad range of goods, along with mechanisms to ensure fair competition and resolve any disputes that may arise. The agreement is expected to open new avenues for businesses and investors in both countries, support the diversification of Oman's trade partners, and enhance access to markets across the region. — ONA

Midday break effective today
The Ministry of Labour has urged all employers to strictly adhere to the midday break, which is effective from today, June 1, in line with Article 16, Clause 2 of the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations. The Ministry has reiterated that it is prohibited to employ workers at construction sites or in areas exposed to high temperatures from 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm during the months of June, July and August. Earlier, the Ministry launched the 'Safe Summer' campaign to educate both employers and employees on the importance of taking a break from the summer heat for their health and safety through its Occupational Safety and Health Department. "Every year, it is prohibited to employ workers outside shaded areas or in places directly exposed to the sun from June 1 to August 31 when temperatures rise to high levels. Stringent measures will be taken against violators of the midday break rule to ensure its implementation at all outdoor work premises", a Ministry spokesperson said. According to Section 118 of the Labour Law, anyone who violates the midday break law shall be punished with a fine ranging from RO 100 to 500 or imprisonment of up to one month, depending on the severity and frequency of the offense. Last year, several companies were punished for Labour Law violations; and fines and legal proceedings were initiated against companies that did not fully adhere to the three-month noon break. The Ministry has urged all construction, facilities management, maintenance and other sites where people work in open areas to allow labourers a break from work between 12:30 pm and 3:30 pm during the three months as per ministerial orders. Heat stress is a common issue in Oman, especially during the summer months when temperatures rise significantly. The Ministry further calls on all private sector establishments to cooperate and adhere to the regulation, emphasising that the campaign is part of its broader efforts to enhance a safe work environment and reduce heat-related injuries.
