Minister of Industry, Trade and Supply Dr. Tarik said that the Syrian side imposed restrictions on Jordanian goods by 100 percent, pointing out that 40 percent of the Jordanian goods were prevented from entering Syria and 60 percent were entered with permits and licenses in advance. 

He said that the Syrian side began to impose restrictions on Jordanian goods since last October and during the last period the official authorities continued to communicate with the Syrian brothers to remove these restrictions, but we did not see a response to that. 

"We began imposing similar restrictions on Syrian goods entering Jordan, but less than those imposed by the Syrian side," he told Petra on Tuesday evening. 

The minister pointed out that the decision to ban the import of some goods from Syria came within the framework of the periodic review carried out by the Ministry of trade exchanges with all countries, in the interest of the public in the light of the treatment received by Jordanian goods exported to some markets.
