Article 27 explained in plain English
This is an organizational article that sets out who issues the Implementing Regulations of the Law and when:
- The body: the Minister of Commerce and Industry.
- What is issued: the Implementing Regulations, and the decisions needed to implement the Law's provisions.
- The period: within 90 days of the date the Law enters into force.
Note that the period runs from the date the Law enters into force, not from the date of its issuance or publication. Article 28 provides that the Law takes effect ninety days after its publication in the Official Gazette, so the deadline for issuing the Regulations is the ninety days that follow the Law's start of application.
This article follows Article 26, which assigns investigation and public prosecution of violations of the Law's provisions before the Board of Grievances to the Bureau of Investigation and Public Prosecution.
The article does not state the content of the Regulations or the decisions. Anyone who wants the practical details of applying the Law should consult the Implementing Regulations and the decisions issued by the competent Minister, and may consult a lawyer specializing in commercial cases where needed.
