The statement made to the public by TOBB is as follows;

The Ministry of Trade, within the scope of Law No. 6563 on the Regulation of Electronic Commerce and the related legislation, has tasked The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye with establishing a national platform where commercial electronic message permissions and complaint processes can be managed.

Our Union has established İleti Yönetim Sistemi A.Ş. (İYS) to fulfil the said task. İYS is a national database system that will assume a central role between businesses, the public sector and citizens. A need has arisen to inform our chambers and commodity exchanges and their members about the legislation put into force to ensure the operation of İYS.

Sub-paragraph c of Article 2 of the Regulation on Commercial Communication and Commercial Electronic Messages, published in the Official Gazette dated 15 July 2015 and numbered 29417, provides that messages sent to their members by professional organisations with the status of public institutions in relation to the activities of their own commercial enterprises are exempt from the regulation. Within this framework, the electronic messages of chambers and commodity exchanges and their affiliates have been excluded from the scope. On the other hand, chamber and commodity exchange members who send commercial electronic messages are required by the legislation to register with İYS and fulfil certain obligations.
