Egypt’s investors union says no to Canada joining the QIZ

Investors union says no to Canada joining the QIZ: The Egyptian Federation of Investors Associations’ board of directors has voted against a request from Egypt’s trade office in Canada to include the North American country in the Qualified Industrial Zones (QIZ) export agreement, the federation’s acting head Moharram Helal said. Helal gave no reasons for the rejection. Participants in the 2004 QIZ agreement are granted no-tariff access to the US market provided they meet a minimum required amount of Israeli content.
