Required with her. The Rami believe that the selection of appraisers should be their direct responsibility.
As of 2018, a tender was published with the aim of compiling the government appraisal database .

"The placement of the appraisers was done by the government appraiser unilaterally, without coordination and is not acceptable to us," Miri Rimon, Rami's appraiser, wrote this week in a scathing letter sent to the government appraiser, the Accountant General and senior Justice Ministry officials. To contact the reservoir appraiser, "she clarified.
According to insiders, her strong opposition stems from the fact that some of the appraisers on the list are inexperienced in working with Remi and without sufficient experience and adjustment, according to sources at Remi. Some of them also used to be Rami appraisers in the past and were rated with low scores. On the other hand, some claim that this is an ongoing matter of principle in which Rami seeks to concentrate all its powers and empty the role of government appraiser.
This is another step in the deteriorating relationship between the government appraiser and RMI, led by CEO Yankee Quint - which could create a significant bottleneck in the production of real estate assessments in the coming weeks. The process of producing the assessment is a necessary condition for the marketing of land - the main task of RMI.

Will a new outline be determined?
The assessment of the assessments is currently carried out by RMI, which by definition believes in maximizing income from the land, and by the government reservoir licensed to produce assessments - and then they are presented to the public. In the Complaints Committee and bring to a decision, thus maintaining the principle of separation of powers and control of land prices in an impartial manner.
However, Rami believes that the process should be streamlined and the stage of producing the first assessment from the government appraiser's offices in the Ministry of Justice should be cut off, and that the estimates should be made within Remi, regardless of the Ministry of Justice's database appraiser's schedules. Assessment and attainment procedures are often extended to long months of waiting and dependence on slow bureaucratic procedures.
In December 2020, a government committee was established, consisting of representatives of the government appraiser, RMI and elected officials, with the aim of discussing the assessment process. The committee is scheduled to convene in about ten days to formulate recommendations after six months of joint meetings. The government where Rami's freedom of action in issuing moles will be extended, alongside control by the government appraiser. Now, however, due to the recent confrontation, it is unclear whether agreements will be reached on the outline.
The Ministry of Justice stated that "the powers of the government appraiser are determined by legislation, government decisions, various regulations and decisions of the Israel Land Council, and the government appraiser acts in accordance with them. The government appraiser, who is a unit in the Ministry of Justice, , In transactions to which the State is a party.
"The Appraisers' Tender and the Allocation of Appraisers to All Government Ministries is made in accordance with the Government's decision and the Tenders Committee's in accordance with the Tender Obligations Law. RMI. Throughout, the tender was conducted in full cooperation with all government officials in need of the services of the government appraiser, except for RMI, which chose, for reasons reserved to it, not to cooperate with the procedure for allocating appraisers and to act accordingly.
The Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers said: "The Bureau calls on the state to put things in order and speed up the process of allocating appraisers to Rami. The economic disaster that may occur from stopping transactions and real estate activities must be prevented, although the relevant committee has long determined Not to act on it. "
