"We are currently honing the text, but anyway, it will be ready for the parliament's 2004 spring session, he told London-based daily Asharq Al-Awsat.

He explained that the law project is part of the government's measures to raise public standards that include ministers' declaration of property, consolidating civil servants control mechanisms and revising the law on public projects allocation.

Asked on the experience of regional investment centers, he answered that this formula, that allows investors to conduct all administrative procedures and obtain all needed licenses in one administration, has been positive so far.

This experience, he went on, which has given concrete content to the decentralization and de-concentration policy adopted by the kingdom, has however revealed some administrative constraints that are being addressed by the government.
