[Title] => Tariff body urged to hasten review of 2006 program
[Summary] => Local Industries are urging the Tariff and Related Matters (TRM) Committee to hurry up and finish their comprehensive review of the 2006 tariff program as the delay is causing havoc with the industries’ business plans for this year.
Business planners are currently relying on 2005 tariff rates, at least for the first quarter or the first half of 2006, as the technical committee of the Cabinet-level TRM has not yet finished its own review of the earlier submitted comprehensive overhaul done by the Tariff Commission.
