Membership & Services

The importance of membership in the Union

First: Policies

Stone industry facilities operate in a business environment full of challenges that require the union to defend the interests of its members and represent them before all governmental and foreign agencies and the private sector in general. Membership in the union enables you to protect your business. In this regard, the union works on the following:
  • Follow up on all laws, procedures and decisions related to the stone industry on an ongoing basis and monitor all changes and developments
  • The Union builds its solid and carefully considered positions, which are discussed and presented at all levels depending on the situation
  • The Federation is a member of the General Federation of Palestinian Industries and benefits from strategic industrial services
Real-life examples:
  1. The Union’s continuous movement towards all unjust decisions against this industry
  2. Research and study the laws and procedures regulating this sector, determine priorities, and seek to make appropriate amendments to them
  3. Preserving the reputation of the stone industry and developing and facilitating export procedures in partnership with the Ministry of National Economy (where export procedures were modified and entered into force)
