Qatar Tribune, 13 March 2025: The Qatar Cabinet has given its preliminary approval to a draft resolution.

This resolution is aimed at defining the administrative units within the General Retirement and Social Insurance Authority (GRSIA) and specifying their areas of specialisation.

This decision was made during the Cabinet’s regular meeting, chaired by the Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister.

The draft resolution, developed in collaboration with the Civil Services and Government Development Bureau, seeks to modernise and enhance the institutional structure of the administrative units tasked with implementing contemporary social insurance systems.

This initiative aligns with the provisions of the Social Security Law and the Military Retirement Law.

In addition to this, the Cabinet has sanctioned a draft decision by the Minister of Finance concerning the remuneration of members involved in tender and auction committees, including their secretariats.

This decision, formulated in accordance with the Tenders and Auctions Regulation Law, outlines the regulations for entitlement and disbursement.

Further, the Cabinet approved a draft decision by the Minister of Environment and Climate Change to issue guidelines for radiation practices in industrial radiography.

This draft will be available on the “Sharek” platform for ten days to solicit comments and feedback.

The guidelines aim to mitigate radiation risks in industrial radiography by establishing national oversight requirements.

Another significant approval was given to a draft decision by the Minister of Justice to organise the initial real estate registry.

This draft, prepared in coordination with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority, will also be posted on the “Sharek” platform for public feedback.

It aims to provide a legislative framework for recording real estate data and documenting legal rights and dispositions.

The Cabinet has also decided to proceed with the necessary measures to ratify an MoU for cooperation in tourism and business events between Qatar and Sierra Leone.

Additionally, several MoUs were approved, including cooperation in statistics with Saudi Arabia, public administration reform with Morocco, and combating money laundering with Libya.
