"Linking DED's services with concerned local and federal bodies is part of our commitment to further strengthen Dubai’s business environment which is important for the continued growth of the Emirate. We are pleased to sign the agreement with the National Media Council, which will contribute to enhancing the level of services provided to customers," said Mr Al Qamzi. 

"As per the agreement, the National Media Council will provide DED with an updated list of licenses and media activities, and DED will electronically provide NMC with access service to data related to business licenses and media activities issued by DED" said Mr Al Abed. 

The agreement also includes co-ordination in the fields of training, and exchange of expertise, studies, ideas and proposals. The two parties will also co-operate in the field of joint inspections and compliances.
