Today, various internet sites and social media have published articles titled, “The first obstacle for Yavaş, Hisarcıklıoğlu: No approval for New Public Bread management,” which has made it necessary to provide clarification to address unfair allegations against the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu:
1.
According to the provisions of Article 24 of the Turkish Commercial Code No.
6102, trade registry activities are carried out within the chamber of commerce
(or chamber of commerce and industry) in the province under the supervision of
the Ministry of Commerce. The trade registry offices establish transactions in
accordance with the relevant law and the regulations and instructions issued by
the Ministry of Trade. The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey has
no direct relationship with the trade registry activities.
2.
However, in our examination of the news, it was determined that the request for
the registration of the board of directors of Ankara Public Bread and Flour
Factory Co. Inc. was made to the Ankara Trade Registry Office operating within
the Ankara Chamber of Commerce and not to the TOBB as claimed.
3.
We have been informed that in the letter of interest of Ankara Trade Registry
Directorate and Ministry of Trade and Ministry of Environment and Urbanization
it was stated that, “Municipalities’ appointment of representatives for
companies with which they are partners or managers is authorized through the
municipal council,” and applications should be established accordingly.
We
respectfully announce this to the public.
