The Paper Working Group considered the allocation of one-eightieth of paper foreign currency to the imports of lithographic metal plates permitted.

In an interview with the Tasnim News Agency cultural correspondent, Gholamreza Shoja, the Managing Director of the Cooperative of Lithographers, referred to the letter sent to the Minister of Islamic Guidance for the dedication of one-eightieth of foreign currency at governmental exchange rate for paper to the imports of lithographic metal plates and said, "As per the latest foloow-up, the Minister of Islamic Guidance forwarded the letter to his press deputy."

He continued, "Since no press release has been released by the press deputy, we pursued the issue by writing a letter to the Head of Paper Working Group at Ministry of Guidance, Hossein Entezami who has considered the allocation of one-eightieth of foreign currency at governmental exchange rate for paper to printing activities permitted.

Shoja restated, "As we have said before, the MPs also agree with this issue, and there is no legal problem in this respect. We expect the Ministry of Islamic Guidance to take action in this field sooner because we will certainly face problems with the supply of lithographic metal plates."
