                    [Summary] => SUBIC BAY FREEPORT — The call of Malacañang for Congress to pass a law banning the entry of used vehicles has been the subject of criticisms from various sectors here, particularly those benefiting from the industry.    

Peter Geroue, president of the Motor Vehicle Importers Association (MVIA), told The STAR in a phone interview that there is no need for Malacañang to put pressure on Congress because it has already ruled out any violations of existing laws covering the importation and conversion of right-hand drive (RHD) vehicles here.

Motor Vehicle Importers Association (MVIA) president Peter Geroue said the imposition of "unjustifiable"  high taxes on imported used vehicles provides undue protection to local automotive assemblers.


Geroue added that the new EO is a violation of the Customs Tariff and Code.
