President of the Beauty Sector Association Dr Taisir Younes welcomed government decision to withdraw draft laws from Parliament for amendment and consensus, calling it an advanced and positive step that opens door to wider dialogue with economic and social sectors.

He said the move aligns with Economic Modernisation Vision, stressing that involving private sector in drafting legislation is key to success, improving business environment and achieving real public-private partnership.

Government withdrew draft laws on buildings and land tax (2025), social security (2024), and amendment of mediation law for civil disputes (2019), to expand discussions and hold meetings at Prime Ministry with stakeholders to set executive programme for next 3 years.

Younes said this allows redrafting of provisions to address gaps, especially in social security bill which lacked adequate health insurance coverage and unemployment benefits, and in buildings and land tax bill which contained vague articles linked to local administration law.

He also highlighted importance of developing mediation law to ease court pressure and promote alternative dispute resolution in civil and commercial cases.

Younes concluded that government’s step shows seriousness in opening dialogue channels, urging it to mark beginning of new phase of participatory legislation that ensures fairness and supports economic reform.
