You have launched the
Arbitration and Mediation Center within our Chamber. As you know, in
employee-employer, commercial and consumer disputes, mediation has been made
compulsory. The number of applications to mediation across the country has
reached 100,000 per month. 70% of them have been resolved. Trials which used to
take years were over in days or weeks. So access to justice has accelerated. We
also launched the UYUM Mediation and Dispute Resolution Center within TOBB. Thanks
to this center in Eskişehir, you will be able to resolve your commercial
disputes both faster and cheaper. Our main goal here is to listen to you, to
note your troubles and suggestions. As you know, during the pandemic, we worked
with our Presidents to provide a lot of support for you. Of course, there is
more work to be done, because the troubles are not over. As TOBB, we are
following up with and voicing these issues as well.”
