Plans to overhaul the sector are ongoing and have been presented to President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, he added. Arafat said that operational trains will be rotated out of service in the months ahead for maintenance works (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kZa_R8IVKls\">watch, runtime 13:07<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The injured are being treated at the government\u2019s expense<\/strong> and the families of victims will be paid EGP 50,000 compensation, Alexandria Governor Mohamed Sultan told El Hosary (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PCVTEjZp4Cs\">watch, runtime 5:13<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Transport Ministry aide on tunnels, railways, and roads Amr Shaat claimed initial findings suggest the collision was <\/strong><strong>the result of a mixup <\/strong>in signalling on the rail lines.

Badawi also ruled out earmarking new funds for ENR, saying it just isn\u2019t feasible.<\/p>\n<p>Over on Hona Al Asema, substitute host Dina Zahra covered <strong>the newly-issued executive <\/strong><strong>regulations to the Industrial Permits Act.<\/strong> Industrial Development Authority head Ahmed Abdel Razek told Zahra that the IDA is the sole authority concerned with issuing industrial licenses under the act, instead of 11 before.

At a press conference announcing the regs, Trade and Industry Minister Tarek Kabil reminded us why the long-awaited act \u2014 a key component of the government\u2019s reform agenda \u2014 was important, <a href=\"http:\/\/gate.ahram.org.eg\/News\/1564588.aspx\">Ahram Gate reports<\/a>. Investors will now have to deal with one government agency only as opposed to 11 before the act.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The law will effectively cut the wait-time to receive approval for permits to seven or 30 <\/strong><strong>days (depending on the licensing track) from a previous average of 600 days<\/strong>, Kabil added <a href=\"http:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/1176198\">according to Al Masry Al Youm<\/a>. As we have previously noted, the law would grant permits in one of two tracks: One for heavy industry that carries significant environmental, health, safety, or security risks, and another for smaller, lower-risk manufacturers. Licensing fees and wait times will vary by track, with the heavy industry \/ higher risk tracking being more expensive and demanding a 30-day approval cycle. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/04\/30\/mps-pass-industrial-permits-act\/\"><strong>Read a refresher on the key points of the law here<\/strong><\/a><strong>. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>No conflict with the Investment Act:<\/strong> There is no conflict between the Industrial Permits Act \u2014 which will be implemented in investment zones for the first time \u2014 and the Investment Act, Kabil said at the conference, though he did not elaborate, <a href=\"http:\/\/gate.ahram.org.eg\/News\/1564614.aspx\">according to Ahram Gate<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/05\/07\/house-approves-investment-act\/\">The Investment Act had done away with the \u201cone stop shop\u201d requirement<\/a> for privatizing land for the Trade and Industry Ministry and the ICT Ministry.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/speed-round\/\">SPEED ROUND<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"642430\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"642431\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"642431\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">6<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">THE MACRO PICTURE<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/14\/mena-regions-entrepreneurial-ecosystem-looks-set-to-rapidly-flourish\/\">\r\n                            MENA region\u2019s entrepreneurial ecosystem looks set to rapidly flourish                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/08\/14\/mena-regions-entrepreneurial-ecosystem-looks-set-to-rapidly-flourish\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
