No non-iodized salt imports

The permanent parliamentary commission on social policy centered on the draft law "On iodization of salt for prophylactics of iodine deficit" Wednesday. The commissioners decided that only iodized salt be imported to the country, where annual need for technical and food salt is 500,000 tons, and local salt producers be authorized following appropriate licenses from the Ministry of Health.

The bill will be forwarded to the Milli Mejlis.*
