The general consensus of the meeting appears to be that while the law is a good start, much more needs to be done. The event came as the government <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/03\/22\/cabinet-refers-ride-hailing-apps-act-to-parliament-for-sign-off\/\">rushes to legalize<\/a> ride-hailing apps such as Uber and Careem, whose licenses were put at risk by <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/03\/21\/administrative-court-orders-shut-down-of-ride-hailing-apps-uber-and-careem-companies-plan-appeal\/\">a ruling from the Administrative Court<\/a> favoring taxi drivers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The government line:<\/strong> The Ride-Hailing Apps Act is key, if only because it\u2019s the state\u2019s first to attempt to regulate the sharing economy, Investment Minister Sahar Nasr said, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=25032018&id=c09f0132-07a3-4792-97c3-589668aa2362\">according to Al Shorouk<\/a>. Passing the bill is in the public interest: It helps create jobs and complements the government\u2019s development strategy, she added. The government is developing new cities and is keen to develop reliable public transportation systems in cooperation with the private sector, Nasr noted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nasr also may have thrown a dig at grandstanding MPs<\/strong> when she says that the law has been through a number of committees in the House and the government and their input has been taken into consideration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The companies get their say:<\/strong> Careem\u2019s public relations director, Dalia El Nasr, showed the flag for the private sector, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=25032018&id=9d883d96-dceb-4a66-9959-1cbea7aa312d\">according to the newspaper<\/a>. She called for moderate pricing of licenses under the act, a justifiable complaint <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/04\/ride-hailing-apps-will-be-required-by-law-to-ensure-taxis-make-up-half-of-their-fleets-careem-eyes-expansion-in-egypt-swvl-looks-raise-funds-for-expansion-in-mena-and-beyond\/\">considering reports<\/a> that permits to drive for a ride-sharing service could cost 125% more than taxi licenses do (which, frankly, is just insane). Ride-sharing apps should also be exempted from having to prove to regulators that all of their divers are insured, a requirement El Nasr says would be logistically difficult for a multinational with some 100k drivers. (On this: Give us a break. Proof of insurance should be a basic, as it is in every jurisdiction in the world that we can think of). Overall, El Nasr is pushing for a looser, more lenient regulatory framework<\/p>\n<p><strong>The House wants to appease taxis\u2014and collect your data: <\/strong>MPs positively slobbered as they looked to score points with taxi drivers, criticizing a bill they themselves helped draft. \u201c[Ride-hailing] companies have harmed regular taxi drivers who pay taxes and license fees to the state,\u201d said House Transport Committee deputy chair Mohamed Zain, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.egyptindependent.com\/parliament-postpones-meeting-on-uber-careem-legalization-due-to-elections\/\">according to Al Masry Al Youm<\/a>. <strong>(Find us a taxi driver who pays taxes on his earnings driving a cab and we\u2019ll find you the sole living saint in Egypt.)<\/strong> Zain also pushed for the law to guarantee that companies open user data to the government and store that data in Egypt \u2014 a feature of the law <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/06\/11\/govt-allegedly-asked-uber-careem-to-divulge-real-time-data\/\">first revealed by the NYT\u2019s Declan Walsh<\/a> last year.
