The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu visited Nizip Chamber of Commerce and attended the opening ceremony of the Mediation and Compliance Center. TOBBUYUM Chairman Cemil Çiçek, Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Fatma Şahin, Nizip Mayor Mehmet Sarı and many Chambers and Commodity Exchange Presidents also took part in the ceremony.
Hisarcıklıoğlu wished
the elections to be auspicious and success to all board of directors and
council members before Nizip Chamber of Commerce Chairman Mehmet Özyurt and
Assembly Speaker Bekir Karabacak for the new term.
Hisarckılıoğlu said:
“With the Mediation Center we opened today, we help you resolve your legal
disputes as quickly as possible. Because, you know, an average case takes
years. At this point, alternative solutions must come into play. Mr. Cemil
Cicek initiated this at the Ministry of Justice. Later, in worker-employer,
commercial and consumer disputes, mediation was made compulsory. We established
a Mediation Center within TOBB. Its chairman was Mr. Cemil Çiçek, the Speaker
of the Assembly. The use of the system has increased day by day. The number of
applications to mediation reached 100,000 per month.70 percent of them resulted in a deal. Trials
that used to take years were over in days or weeks. So access to justice has
accelerated. Most importantly, the parties parted with halal. Our culture says
facilitate, don't exacerbate. Now you will be able to resolve all your trade
disputes here, both faster and cheaper. You'll be able to see cases that took
months or even years come to a conclusion here in a matter of weeks. You should
definitely use this opportunity.”
