The package of incentives was designed to allow local assemblers, who industry backers argue support tens of thousands of skilled direct and indirect jobs, to better compete with European Union, Moroccan and Turkish imports that receive customs breaks here in Egypt. That strategy has been sharply opposed by our EU trade partners \u2014 particularly Germany, whose chancellor, Angela Merkel, is said to have addressed the issue directly with President Abdel Fattah El Sisi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The alternative? <\/strong>The government is looking to replace the automotive directive with a policy of setting up special auto industry freezones that would offer a range of as-yet unspecified tax and customs breaks to assemblers, a senior government source with direct knowledge of the move told Enterprise. Among the incentives would tax and customs exemptions for capital goods imported for local assembly, the source said. Our source noted that the ministries of trade and industry, finance, and investment are currently working on studies that would back the new policy, but did not say when the proposal might be officially unveiled. <strong>The policy will likely emulate others adopted by regional players<\/strong> including Morocco and South Africa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Higher local content requirements part of the proposal? <\/strong>Manufacturers looking to join the proposed program would be required to source 60% of their components here at home, the source said.

A number of auto companies are on record as saying they were awaiting the automotive directive before committing to new assembly lines. These <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/05\/14\/one-step-closer-to-launching-the-automotive-directive\/\">include Toyota<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/06\/14\/cairo-capital-wants-to-distribute-chinas-gac-motor-with-an-eye-towards-manufacturing-parts\/\">China\u2019s GAC Motor<\/a>.
