Businesses welcome the law on donating excess food
About 460,000 North Macedonian citizens are unable to provide more than one meal a day due to extreme poverty, while the country ranks 10th in the world in waste disposal, said from the non-governmental organization “Ajde Macedonia”.
Meanwhile, the Government of North Macedonia says that it is working on drafting a law that will regulate the conditions to be met for donating excess food and that it is expected to receive green light in Parliament by the end of this year.
Businessmen, meanwhile, say they will significantly help companies that deal with the food industry.“The businesses that our chamber represents (the Economic Chamber of North-West Macedonia) have a social responsibility and anyway they would have an interest in contributing to what is good for society at large. Any tax relief is welcome for business, but above all we need to take into account the fact of proper implementation of the law, so that we do not have selective justice”
“We can say that the initiative to regulate the issue of donating excess food is acceptable to the business, but the details of this bill remain to be seen so that we can talk about the real effect of implementing this law,” says he, for Radio Free Europe, Drilon Iseni, Director of the Economic Chamber of North-West Macedonia.
