TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran on Saturday banned advertisement of all foreign goods and services which have a domestic rival, a first move in line with the Supreme Leader's decree for promoting Iran-made products. |
Iran's Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution in an approval on environmental advertisement in cities and intercity highways banned all types of commercials and advertisement of foreign goods and services. "According to the approval of the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution, advertising foreign goods and services with domestic rivals is banned," Secretary of the Council of Public Culture Mansour Vaezi said, adding that the ban even extends to those Iranian "goods and services with a foreign name". |
The law also covers all domestic goods and products manufactured through joint ventures between Iranian and foreign companies, Vaezi said, underlining that all such goods, products and services should bear an Iranian name in accordance with the law.
Meantime, the official mentioned that advertisement of all those foreign goods and services which do not have an Iranian rival is also subject to certain rules and restrictions. "Advertisement of such foreign goods and services is allowed only in Persian and they should not be advertised on city and intercity highway billboards, pedestrian bridges and electronic boards," the official added.
