Lawsuit Challenges Foreign Engineer Registration
A legal dispute was filed before the Administrative Court against the Engineers Syndicate Council, demanding the annulment of the decision to register Palestinians and granting them engineering licenses. The lawsuit called for stopping the issuance of permits and licenses to foreigners and migrants who violate the law. The lawsuit emphasized that opening the Egyptian engineering labor market more broadly to foreigners harms the profession, increases unfair competition, and leads to lower wages and heightened unemployment among Egyptian engineers—especially amid the rising number of graduates. It highlighted the need to review restrictions and permits, and to avoid expanding permits for foreigners to practice the profession without clear regulations that meet national needs. The lawsuit warned that such measures threaten the interests of Egyptian engineers and disrupt the balance between attracting foreign expertise and ensuring employment rights for Egyptian nationals.
