The Ministry of Economy has decided to impose a new tax of almost 7% on sugar imported from Brazil, in response to a lawsuit brought by the union of local producers.
With this new protectionist measure the government is trying to put an end to a conflict that arose in 2015 between the Agricultural Cane League (Laica) and the importer Maquila Lama, when this company denounced a proposal to amend the regulation on sugar fortification claiming it attempted to restrict trade of imported grain.
Costa Rican industrialists are oppossed to batch certification proposed by the government in the regulation of electric cables and are demanding a reduction of the duplication of requirements in public proceedings.
From a statement issued by the Chamber of Industries of Costa Rica (ICRC):
The Chamber of Industry has asked for support from the Minister at the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Trade (MEIC), Welmer Ramos, for the industrial sector. Regulatory reform and appropriate technical regulations are some of the issues on which the chamber is repeatedly pressing in order to defend the interests of the sector.
