The Belarusian industry ministry was entrusted with producing cars. In 2006, the assembly production of cars of the Iranian company Iran Khodro was launched in Minsk at the production facilities of the Unison company.
Moreover, in 2007 the industry ministry should start to produce a number of other goods including domestic welding apparatuses, exercise bicycles, scales, woodworking equipment, baby carriages, motor boats, DVD- players, air-conditioners and others.
According to the Resolution of the Council of Ministers, the import-replacing goods should meet the best imported analogues in terms of technical requirements, design, packaging and price.
