Explanatory Reasons
The Tobacco Monopoly Administration used to issue a special regulation at the beginning of each fiscal year in which it determined
the amount of commission it grants to wholesale tobacco traders, along with a statement of the conditions and method of granting these sales licenses
and their number. Since no amendments have been issued to this regulation during the past ten years,
and to reduce routine, and because the Monopoly Administration is responsible for implementing
the provisions of its founding law, this law has been enacted.
