“We do not understand the reason for the tripartite meeting on September,23. We met a few months ago in Annaba, specifically on last March 6, where we discussed all the social and economic files. The tripartite contract needs to be prepared in depth and the decision that was taken previously was not deliberate, but was hasty, as this meeting will be for the proposal and to consider the files and search for solutions, and all this takes longer time, which prevented us from meeting on next September 23”.

Chairman of the forum of heads of institutions asserted that the FCE (FHI) will contribute to the Finance Act of 2018, through a number of proposals that are submitted to the new Prime Minister, Ahmed Ouyahia, a few days ago.
