After the Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD, now another Chinese automotive company, Chery, has been granted a special legal regulation. The expansion of the organized industrial zone (OSB) expected to be established in Samsun has been facilitated for Chery.
Work has been done to establish a second OSB in Samsun. An area of 318 hectares has been identified in Tekkeköy where many companies can operate. While the works are ongoing, it has been announced that a large space will also be allocated to the Chinese company Chery in the OSB. It was planned that this space would be covered by cutting from the firms that were previously allocated space in the OSB.
INCLUDED IN THE TAX PACKAGE
Since the OSB was established on the coastline, it was realized that a change in the Coastal Law was necessary, and a one-sentence article was added to the tax package submitted to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM). This article only requested permission for the establishment of the OSB. However, when the tax package was withdrawn, this article also became void. Ultimately, the solution was found by adding an article to the proposal related to the consumer law, which is still under discussion. However, when Chery was involved, an additional 'expansion permit' was added to the permission for the establishment of the OSB. Moreover, it was guaranteed by law that no payment would be made to the state for the expansion to be carried out on public land.
CHP PLACED A RESERVATION
The mentioned amendment was passed in the Parliament with the approval of other party groups along with the reservation of the CHP. CHP Samsun Deputy Murat Çam, who spoke during the discussions, stated that they approved the regulation in terms of investment and employment, but they placed a reservation due to some concerns.
Murat Çam pointed out that there are agricultural lands in the expansion area of the OSB and that agricultural production would be at risk in the event of expansion. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that irregularities in infrastructure, waste management, and environmental impact assessment processes are not overlooked.
