THE OMBUDSMAN INSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF TÜRKİYE 2018 ANNUAL REPORT
A case summary
The applicant stated that while he was working in Kars province, he was appointed to Kırıkkale
province, and that he wasn’t paid bank promotion in his previous workplace and therefore,
he orally asked for the payment of the promotion in his new workplace, but his request was
denied.
Following the examinations and research, our Institution found that non-payment of the
bank promotion might cause inequality between the staff and therefore affect negatively the
working peace and issued a Recommendation to the Administration to enable the payment of
bank promotion for the applicant.
g) Energy, Industry, Customs and Trade
Applications in the field of energy, industry, customs and trade have been mostly about the
following:
◊ problems arising from getting mining license or cancelling it,
◊ acts of electricity distribution companies,
◊ standby credits given for enterprises by Small and Medium Enterprises Development
Organization (KOSGEB),
◊ matters relating to domestic and foreign trade,
◊ consumer problems, and customs procedures.
A case summary
The applicant stated in his application that the electricity distribution board which was
constructed on the pavement right across his workplace was against the development plan and
it was constructed without receiving permission from the Municipality, thus asking for the
removal of it.
After conducting examinations, our Institution found that the electricity board was not
causing any obstacle for entrance to or exit from the workplaces or passing of pedestrians as it
was constructed in a way to provide sufficient space for pedestrians, and it was built to provide
electricity to the workplaces in the vicinity. Additionally, it was found that the necessary
permission was obtained from the Municipality and the board was constructed in line with
the related laws. Considering these and other relevant findings, our Institution issued a refusal
decision.
