More projects for Najaf



By Saadoun al-Biri



Azzaman, May 11, 2007



The provincial authorities in the holy city of Najaf have started scores of projects worth billions of Iraqi dinars.



Ahmad Duaibel of the city’s local administration said work on 81 projects had started and on completion they should improve Najaf’s infrastructure.



Health, agriculture and water purification schemes are among the top priorities, Duaibel said.



He said 23 projects to develop the province’s transport infrastructure were underway.



But most of these projects, he said, would only revamp those which were affected “by recent events” in Najaf.



Najaf has been the scene of violent car bomb attacks as well as sporadic clashes involving rival Shiite militia groups as well U.S. occupation troops.



Duaibel did not say when these projects will be completed and declined to reveal the names of the contracting firms.

can we get all 5 steps done at this one meeting ? are they need to become a full member ?

stuff that i wonder about

Becoming a full member
Once approved by the General Council of Ministerial Conference, the applicant is then free to sign the Protocol of Accession stating that it accepts the approved “accessions package” subject to ratification in its national parliament. Normally three months is given from signature of the Protocol of Accession for this to take place.
Thirty days after the applicant government notifies the WTO Secretariat that it has completed its ratification procedures, the applicant government becomes a full Member of the WTO.

WTO | accession | member


UH-OHHHH !!!!! We have to wait for these guys to ratify it???

Cheers!

Hey DD, I may be grapsing at straws but it says "NORMALLY three months is given FOR THIS TO TAKE PLACE." So it sounds possible that Iraq can complete their ratification procedures sooner

The following is the text of the interview conducted with him on May 10, 2007 :

O-Is it information on who carried Irbil bombing?
C-No News accurate but at least the person who had detonated himself is from Mosul, Nineveh or as preliminary information.But so far there is no definite information on the details of this event.

Question-What background contest that took place in the House?
C - I think that the rivalry was unconstitutional and also illegal according to the rules of procedure, but the consensus is muddied verbal scuffle between President of the Chamber of Deputies and two of block consensus and I also believe that when he fled to the adjournment of the plan was legal according to the rules of procedure.

Question-What is your opinion of the candidates Is Stsuton for them?
C-First this is not included within the topic of today's meeting and there was no intention to put any names to give them confidence, but there is some news, news informal distribution biography of Ministers candidates for the cabinet reshuffle is anticipated, In fact, we shines as a coalition of Kurdistan did not receive so far official list of names who could replace Minister of al-Sadr's movement.
We hope that the Prime Minister has chosen these meticulously to form a strong government, patriotism because of the current government, which a lot of flaws. I think if he did not succeed in the selection of good candidates will be those Abaga another burden on the government.

Question-How do you see the possibility of not granting trust?
C-each Portfolio and the three candidates possible to choose the best from among those three, but we did not receive a formal call by the government or the Presidency of the Iraqi parliament. I think that the Prime Minister should take into account the important topic is the subject of national consensus.

Question-How do you see the visit of Vice President Dick Cheney?
C - I think that the visit coincided with the first two had come to identify closely what is happening in Iraq on the International Conference recently held in Sharm el-Sheikh. The second track, he stressed that his visit came to the political and military support, and a clear message was not different from other communications and stressed that the Iraqi government must do what it can to ensure the success of the national reconciliation process and to impose the rule of law, especially that such a government would be for all Iraqis.

Kurdish officials to meet govt in Baghdad over oil
By Ahmed Rasheed
BAGHDAD, 11 May 2007 (Reuters)


Senior Iraqi Kurdish officials will travel to Baghdad next week hoping to end an impasse with the central government over a draft oil law to share revenues from the world's third-largest oil reserves.
Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, under pressure to push through key legislation Washington says is vital to healing sectarian divisions among Iraq's sects and ethnic groups, told an international economic conference on Iraq last week that the bill had been submitted to parliament for approval.
Oil Minister Hussain al-Shahristani, also speaking ahead of the meeting in Egypt in which industrialised powers pressed reforms in Iraq in exchange for aid, told reporters in Saudi Arabia last week that Kurds were "very happy" with the draft law and that all the groups had agreed to pass it by the end of May.
But an oil industry source told Reuters on Thursday the bill was in a state body charged with drafting legislation, and that Kurds still had misgivings over annexes they say would wrest oilfields from regions and place them under a new state-oil firm.
Iraq's Kurdish Prime Minister Nejruvan Barzani said he will lead a high-level delegation of Kurdish officials to discuss the annexes with the central government next week.
"Next week, new negotiations will start over the appendixes to the oil law and the revenue distribution law. I will participate in a large part of these negotiations," Barzani told reporters in the northern city of Arbil late on Wednesday.
"The Kurds had a big role in writing the draft of the suggested oil law. I am optimistic in resolving the disputes."
An oil law is vital to securing foreign investment to boost Iraq's oil output and rebuild its war-ravaged economy.
But divisive issues not formalised when cabinet passed the law in February, such as how revenues would be shared and who would gain control of discovered but undeveloped oilfields, has delayed its approval.
Barzani has insisted that Kurds want to include a separate law on oil revenue management that would set up a Kurdish fund. The central government has said it wants revenues put in a central account and distributed according to Iraq's population.
Most of Iraq's proven oil reserves are in the Shi'ite south and in the Kurdish north.
A fair distribution of the oil wealth is vital for national reconciliation because Sunni Arabs, who live in areas with no oil in central and western Iraq, fear a bad deal would cut them off from any windfall. Sunni Arabs are the backbone of the insurgency.
Iraq's Deputy Prime minister Barham Salih, the chief architect of the draft oil law, told Reuters in an interview earlier this month he was confident a draft oil law would be approved in parliament after officials from the central government and Kurdistan meet to iron out differences.
