Under the patronage of His Excellency the Minister of Economy, Trade, and Investment, Engineer Moeen Hashem Al-Mahaqari, the Yemeni Standards, Metrology, and Quality Control Organization, in coordination with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the Capital Secretariat of Sana'a, organized on Thursday, January 23, 2025, an awareness event to introduce the services of the "Tasehil" electronic portal. The event included a practical simulation of how to use the system and was held at the ministry's headquarters.
During his dialogue with traders and manufacturers at the event, His Excellency Minister Al-Mahaqari emphasized that the objective of the "Tasehil" e-portal of the Standards Organization is to assist traders and simplify all procedures for them, considering them partners in development and beneficiaries of the portal's services to expedite their activities related to standards. He also announced that next week, the electronic linkage between the Standards Organization's portal and the Customs portal will be implemented, which will mark a significant leap in the services offered to traders, accelerating inspection, evaluation, and clearance processes for shipments in record time with significantly reduced effort and cost.
He stated: "Our primary goal is to automate all operations so that inspections, analyses, results, and clearances are fully electronic, conducted transparently and easily through the application, in line with the established procedures and standards in our country."
The Minister highlighted the expansion of digital services to cover all processes, with the goal of making them available to everyone before Ramadan. He also emphasized the importance of the new investment law, which includes numerous exemptions, incentives, and guarantees expected to elevate Yemen's economy to advanced levels.
From his side, Mr. Mohammed Mohammed Salah, Vice Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, welcomed the launch of the portal, describing it as a qualitative leap in enhancing cooperation between the public and private sectors. He stressed that it would facilitate procedures for importers, reduce time and effort for companies, and positively impact the business environment and industrial investment attraction.
He reaffirmed the joint efforts to protect consumers and national capital from fraud, counterfeiting, or forgery while enhancing the quality of local products, supporting the localization of local industries, and improving service quality to boost competitiveness both locally and internationally.
Meanwhile, Mr. Sam Al-Bashiri, Executive Director of the Yemeni Standards and Metrology Organization, expressed the organization's commitment to strengthening collaboration and partnership with the private sector. He confirmed their readiness to resolve any obstacles traders may encounter with the portal's programs and applications.
He provided an explanation of the application, detailing the steps for using it and completing procedures through it. Traders also participated in practical applications, including registration, accessing the portal, and requesting services.
He noted that in the first phase, the organization updated and developed five existing internal electronic systems while establishing seven new systems and two applications, offering various services. Additionally, eight electronic services were introduced, some available through the portal and others as internal support systems.
