Amal Khalil wrote in the newspaper “Al-Akhbar” under the title “A partial solution to the crisis of the stamps … with a consensual contract”: “In three days, two events related to the stamps were registered, that can contradict the form, but they rotate in the whirlwind of the Lebanese administration style. Yesterday, I announced The Ministry of Finance postponed the resolution of the purchase offers that force the presentation of financial stamps to the Ministry, which was scheduled for yesterday, to May 19 The postponement based on the decision of the Director General of the Tender Administration, Jan Al-Ali, is the second after the postponement of the first of March 16, who decided at that time to postpone “to ensure protection requirements” According to the management statement, the second delay was not surprising, according to Mo sources. According to the file, the attic still retains several of the items mentioned in the book of conditions established by the ministry, the most prominent of which is the refusal to adopt the “gravure” technique in printing. “The experiment did not indicate a major flaw in previously approved techniques, so the bidding department found no reason to enter high-cost technologies,” according to sources, the attic reserve is offset by the refusal of the Union of Press owners, who have previously stated that the conditions book “was detailed to prevent Lebanese companies from competing because they did not have this technology.”

But postponing unsubscribe will not extend the crisis of near-total disruption of market seals and official circles and brothels that started about four months ago. In light of the deadlock in the tender line, it was notable last Monday that the Ministry had delivered 50 million stamps to regional financial departments in the provinces. What happened? A source from the financial department of one of the provinces explained that the ministry, and in the absence of an agreement on the terms of the tender, last year launched a mutually agreed contract with one of the printers to print part of the market’s need (8 million stamps) for an amount of 50 thousand dollars. But that house printed stamps that the ministry, which requested to change it, did not like. The house decided to import equipment from abroad to increase the level of printing, but its arrival was hampered by the outbreak of the events of October 17 and then by the spread of the Corona epidemic. But to secure some of the market’s need, “with the knowledge and approval of the finance ministry, the house printed 50 million stamps on a printing house owned by another house,” the source said. to read the full article Press here.
