Common Customs Law of the GCC States
The GCC was established in accordance with an agreement concluded in 1981
in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and
UAE. These countries declared that the GCC is established in view of the
special relations between them, their similar political systems based on
Islamic beliefs, joint destiny and common objectives.
The geographic proximity of these countries and their general adoption of
free trade economic policies are factors that encouraged them to establish the
GCC.
The objectives specified were the achievement and enhancement of
coordination in the different areas between the member countries and their
people and the adoption of similar systems in economic and financial matters,
commerce and customs, education and culture, social affairs and health,
information and tourism, legislation and administration, science, technical,
industrial, mining, agriculture, the establishment of joint project in these
areas and the encouragement of private sector activities for the general
benefit and welfare of their people.
GCC Law
In 1982 the GCC countries concluded the joint Economic Agreement granting
specific privileges and advantages to nationals of member countries to perform
economic and trading activities in other member countries. This was followed by
similar other agreements to encourage economic relations, trade and practice of
professions in the member countries.
