This service will include details such as precise property metrages, land use, parking and storage status, deed registration date, floor, postal ID, and the status of property liens or freedom from encumbrances. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and accuracy in real estate transactions.

The third approval addresses strengthening the fight against smuggling of goods and currency. To fulfill the requirements of Article 6, Paragraph "B" of the Anti-Smuggling Law, and in response to a request from the Central Headquarters for Combating Smuggling of Goods and Currency, the Road Maintenance and Transportation Organization is tasked with providing travel information and temporary import license inquiry services to customs. These services, offering precise details such as origin and destination of travel, driver information, vehicle license plates, and entry/exit status, will significantly assist customs in identifying and combating the smuggling of goods and currency.

The final approval of the session concerns the National Tax Administration's request for access to information on vacant homes. This measure aims to facilitate the identification and collection of taxes from empty properties. It is anticipated that with the National Tax Administration's access to this accurate and comprehensive data, a significant step will be taken to combat speculation in the housing market and increase the utilization of existing capacities.
