Tamer Osmanağaoğlu proposes fishing insurance and new employment centers in Izmir

During budget discussions for the Ministry of Labour and Social Security at the TBMM Planning and Budget Commission, MHP Deputy Secretary General and Izmir Deputy Tamer Osmanağaoğlu raised several regional and sectoral demands.

Regarding the fishing industry, Osmanağaoğlu proposed making insurance registration a requirement for obtaining aquaculture licenses. He suggested coordinating the Social Security Institution system with the aquaculture licensing system to prevent unregistered labor and allow for real-time tracking of personnel across different vessels. He also noted that insurance premium incentives for the sector should be considered.

On employment services, Osmanağaoğlu called for the establishment of new İŞKUR service centers in the Aliağa and Buca districts of Izmir. He noted that Aliağa, a high-density industrial area, currently lacks a center, forcing residents to travel to Çiğli. He also highlighted that Buca, which has a population exceeding 520,000, must receive its own dedicated service center to alleviate the workload in neighboring districts.
