QUESTIONS REGARDING THE SECRETARIAT REPORT Question 1 3.13. On 1 January 2018, the SCA introduced the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) programme, which is based on a partnership between the SCA and businesses to strengthen the security of the international supply chain and provide more trade facilitation benefits. Could you provide more information regarding the actions carried out to reinforce the security of the international supply chain? Answer The authorized economic operator programme aims to enhance the security of the international supply chain through scrutiny and verification of companies that have applied for the programme in order to ensure that they meet standards and comply with the supply chain security standards framework. As of February 2021, there are more than 190 companies registered by General Customs Authority as authorized economic operator and classified as low-risk business partners after formal scrutiny by General Customs Authority to ensure that they meet compliance and security standards (e.g., trade partners). Question 2 3.21. During the review period, the main changes introduced regarding customs valuation refer to publishing customs valuation rules on the SCA website, and applying the importer's right to appeal without penalty before the Customs Valuation Committee. The Customs Valuation Committee handles the settlement of disputes arising between importers and the SCA over valuation. Its decisions are issued and shall be endorsed by the Governor of the SCA. Could you elaborate on the characteristics of the valuation dispute settlement process between importers and SCA? Answer Since KSA's accession to WTO, customs evaluation legislation and rules have been published in official gazette and the website of General Customs Authority, including references to the importer's right to appeal without penalty before the Customs Valuation Committee and before the judiciary. Pursuant to this legislation, the Customs Valuation Committee is responsible for the settlement of disputes between importers and customs and issues its resolutions having approved by the Governor of General Customs Authority. The working mechanism is as follows: 1. If an objection made by the importer to the valuation resolution at the customs port, the transaction shall be submitted to the Valuation Committee. 2. The Committee's secretariat communicates with the importer to request the grounds of objection, purchase documents and other costs paid. 3. The members of the Committee shall meet to examine the facts and the grounds and determine the appropriate customs value in order to settle the existing dispute and make a decision accordingly. 4. His Excellency the Governor of Customs ratifies the resolutions made by Valuation Committee on the basis of majority vote. 5. The importer shall be informed of the contents of the resolution in writing and has the right to appeal against the resolution of the Valuation Committee before court with no penalty or fine applied. Question 3 3.79. The Saudi Export Program (SEP) is the official national export credit agency, with the objective of diversifying non-oil exports through the provision of financing to Saudi exporters or importers in other countries of non-oil goods from Saudi Arabia. For better understanding the mechanism to access the Program, could you provide more details on how operators from other countries can have access to this program? Answer Operators from other countries can access SEP's services by applying directly to the program through different means such as: website: www.sfd.gov.sa E-mail: [email protected] Fax: +966114659699 Phone NO: +966112794000 They can also access SEP's services by applying to accredited banks abroad, the list of such banks can be found on SEP's website. WT/TPR/M/407/Add.1 - 4 - Question 4 3.93. The SIDF extends loans to eligible Saudi and foreign companies/firms that are registered in the commercial registries. An SIDF loan provides a maximum term of 15 years, covering up to 50% of the fixed assets, pre-operating expenses, and start-up working capital; for projects in less developed or remote cities, the term may be extended to 20 years, and the loan may be increased up to 75%. Could you indicate what are the necessary conditions that foreign companies / firms must meet to obtain the above-mentioned loans? Answer Foreign companies are granted the same treatment as national companies. Foreign companies / firms, as well as national companies/firms, are eligible for SIDF Loans on the basis of the creditworthiness of the applicant, the technical qualities of the project and commercial viability of the project. Question 5 3.137. The new Competition Law aims to protect and

Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology, School of Engineering Science, Industrial Engineering and Management. 118 pages, 31 figures, 13 tables and 10 appendices. Examiners: Associate Professor Lea Hannola and Professor Ville Ojanen Keywords: SASO, certification, Saudi Arabia, mining project, import challenges The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has an own import certification system, which includes SASO certificates. SASO certificates are mandatory import certificates for all regulated goods. In 2019, certification application process, document submission and new online platform changed how certifications are managed from importer’s perspective. SASO certificates being the inevitable part of export mining projects, understanding the system and implementing certificates correctly are very vital in terms of project success. This qualitative study studies how SASO certifications are implemented into mining projects in Saudi Arabia, how SASO certifications and import requirements must be considered in mining projects as well as what are the challenges related to SASO certifications and Saudi Arabian import. Selected research methods are literature review and semi-structured interviews. The study reveals that preliminary planning is vital regarding SASO certificates. In Saudi Arabia, there is a possibility to get duty exemption, which is highly recommended to utilize because granted duty exemption removes the need of SASO certificates.

  • Job Satisfaction Among Saudi Critical Care Nurses in Mecca, Saudi Arabia: Perceptions of What Matters
    IOSR Journal of Nursing and Health Science (IOSR-JNHS) e- ISSN: 2320–1959.p- ISSN: 2320–1940 Volume 7, Issue 5 Ver. II (Sep.-Oct. 2018), PP 35-46 www.iosrjournals.org Job satisfaction among Saudi Critical Care Nurses in Mecca, Saudi Arabia: Perceptions of what matters Omnia Bashehab, Lisa Mckenna, Rebecca Vanderheide 1(King Abdullah Medical City, Saudi Arabia) 2(Nursing and Midwifery, Monash University, Australia) 3(Nursing and Midwifery, Monash University, Australia) Corresponding Author: Omnia Bashehab Abstract: This research aimed to explore factors contributing to Saudi critical care nurses’ job satisfaction in Saudi Arabia. A qualitative research design was used, namely, interpretive description approach, to explore the perceptions of Saudi critical care nurses about factors influencing their job satisfaction. The data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviewsin order to gain a detailed explanation of the participants’ opinions, feelings and experiences. The target population for this research were seven Saudi nurses working in intensive care and critical care units in the Mecca region, Saudi Arabia. In order to overcome the problem of national nursing shortage and turnover, along with dissatisfaction, Saudi nurses’ satisfaction in their profession is essential. This is especially so in critical care units as nurses there deal with severely ill patients and stressful environment. Overall most nurses were dissatisfied with aspects of their profession. A number of factors influenced their job satisfaction such as work environment, payment, long working hours, relationships, leadership and foreign head nurses. It is hoped that findings of this study provide a vision for policymakers on how nurses’ satisfaction may impact on nursing recruitment and turnover and decrease the nursing shortages.

  • 1 a Modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for Implementation of Privacy in Health Information Systems in Saudi Arabia by Su
    A Modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for Implementation of Privacy in Health Information Systems in Saudi Arabia By Sulaiman S. Almutairi A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Informatics Department of Health Informatics School of Health Related Professions Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 2015 1 2 ABSTRACT This study developed a modified technology acceptance model (TAM) based of the actual adoption of the privacy of health information that suggested that external factors of culture and awareness of health information privacy predicted internal factors of privacy, including confidentiality, accountability, and regulations and policies. The study was concerned with the effects of culture and the nature of privacy, as well as the ways in which people’s sensitive information is accessed and maintained by healthcare facilities. The study provided detail regarding the need for improved information privacy in the Saudi healthcare setting. A survey instrument was designed and used to assess the knowledge of the privacy of health information among Saudi professionals in the fields of IT, medicine, and law. The data were analyzed to determine whether or not there was any connection between participants’ characteristics, especially from a religious culture perspective, and their attitudes about the privacy of health information. One-way ANOVAs were conducted to assess differences across professions for each of the outcome and predictor variables. No significant differences were found for accountability, or regulations and policies. Significant differences among professions were found for confidentiality, awareness, and culture. Post hoc analyses indicated that medical professionals reported significantly greater adherence to confidentiality than did law professionals, but they demonstrated significantly lower awareness and culture.
