The Minister of Communications signed yesterday (Sunday) new regulations that will relieve many products of the need to obtain the ministry's approval, in a move that will encourage import and competition in the wireless products market.

The new regulations reduce the families of products that require approval from the Ministry of Communications for the purpose of commercial import to Israel.

This is a significant update in the regulation, which will encourage competition in the wireless products market, communication products and

"smart home"

equipment

, in that commercial imports of some of such equipment will be exempt from licensing like many other product families, such as

computer peripherals - monitors, laptops, tablets, book readers Electronic, vacuum cleaners and more.

"The new regulations are a key part of the ministry's activities in the past year, which will reduce the costs of services and wireless products in the field of communications in Israel, and promote the introduction of the most advanced and latest technologies for use in Israel, in order to place Israel at the forefront of development with developed countries."

"The reform of the regulations alleviates the regulatory burden and eliminates the regulation on personal and commercial imports of families of various wireless products, and will accelerate technological progress in the fields of IoT and in general significantly," Ganz added.

The move is expected to reduce the barriers to entry that have made it difficult for parallel importers to date, and lower consumer prices.

Many of these products have been exempt from personal import only until now, and now with the easing of regulation on commercial imports, a change is expected in favor of the consumer in the market for these products.

These reliefs came after a period in which the personal import exemption was granted, in order to examine the risk of bringing the families of the products in question into the country without supervision.

This move joins the ministry's trend of regulatory regulation in the communications market, which is designed to lower barriers to market entry to increase competition and produce new growth engines at a time when the economy is desperate for it after the corona crisis.
