REMARKS: The reason for the promulgation of this Act is that at present the mortgage of machineries could not be executed under the provisions of the Civil and Commercial Code as machineries are not moveable properties which have been registered. Therefore, it is deemed appropriate to have a law on machinery registration in order that the industrial operators who have registered their machineries may mortgage their machineries, which will assist the industrial operators to have additional operating capital which will be benefitial to the country in industrial development.
