Cabinet approves new Qatar Government Excellence Award

The Cabinet has approved a draft Amiri decision establishing the Qatar Government Excellence Award.

The Cabinet, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Defense Affairs HE Dr Khalid bin Mohammed Al Attiyah, took the decision on Wednesday.

At the beginning of the meeting, the Cabinet was briefed on the 32nd regular session of the Arab League Council at the summit level, which was held last Friday in Jeddah, the sisterly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with the participation of His Highness the Amir of State of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

The Cabinet then approved a decision of the Cabinet regarding the conditions and controls of granting the developer the concession to develop and manage an industrial zone.

The preparation of the draft decision comes based on the provisions of Article 3 of Law No 8 of 2018 regarding industrial zones, which stipulates that - by a decision of the Cabinet based on a proposal by Minister of Commerce and Industry, the developer may be granted a concession to develop and manage an industrial zone under a concession contract, in accordance with the conditions and controls to be issued by a decision of the Cabinet based on the minister's proposals.
