COPF instructs to calculate selling price for eggs and submit within a week

 

Chairman of the Public Finance Committee Dr. Harsha De Silva has instructed the officials of the Ministries of Finance and Trade to calculate and give the proper price at which an egg can be sold in consideration of the regulations under the Import and Export (Control) Act No. 1 of 1969 related to the import of poultry feed into Sri Lanka. 

This matter was discussed at the Committee on Public Accounts held in Parliament recently (Nov. 24) under the chairmanship of Member of Parliament Dr. Harsha De Silva. Also, after a lengthy discussion, the regulations under the Import and Export Act No. 1 of 1969 published in the extraordinary gazettes No. 2300/12 dated 10.05.2022, No. 2278/21 dated 06.05.2022, No. 2285/19 dated 24.06.2022, No. 2302/31 dated 21.10.2022, have received the approval of the Committee on Public Finance.
