24l - 2 - 1/ No. XvIII/5 on the extension of the effectiveness of Article No.XvIII/l on the prohibition of the expansion of tie weaving, 2/ No. xvIII/6 on the prolongation of the validity of Article XVIII/2 on the ban on the integration and extension of repair shops for sacks. IV. The Ministry of Commerce has prepared an amendment to the Trade Code, which is intended to increase the fines set out in the individual regulations of the Trade Order. This amendment is fully justified, because the Trade Rules still apply the old low fines. These fines are to be increased on average by the amendment to about ten times. We had no comments on the draft and gave our approval. V. The Ministry of Social and Health Administration is preparing a new legislative regulation of the construction movement. For this purpose it has prepared a preliminary review of the main principles on which the government regulation is to be worked out. In agreement with our finance and social policy department, we submitted comments to the Department of Commerce on this proposal, in which we made the following particular demands : 1/ Construction law should also be able to be used for private land. Through this measure, we want to achieve that - it is not necessary for the procurement of building land to have to resort to expropriation. This remedy should only be used in cases where it would not be possible to get along with the building law. The draft set out a framework for the authorization of the State Authority to organise the work and production of building materials, as well as for the authorisation of the Land Authority to control works producing building materials.
