(Voice of Iraq) - 07-04-2007

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The Iraqi foreign minister on Saturday that the conference at the ministerial level between Iraq and its neighbors and the international forces will be held in Egypt in the first week of May in the wake of a conference held earlier in order to lay the foundations for stability in the country.

It was expected that the meeting be held in Istanbul in early April of this month. He said Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said the Iraqi government wants to hold the meeting in Egypt, but left the door open for another meeting in Turkey.

Officials said that the Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki he wants to hold the meeting in Baghdad, but some countries expressed concern over the safety of Ministers.

President of the General humanity for retirees told (long) : The Ministry of Finance assassinated Retirement Act (No. 27) before to see the light

Baghdad / Muhannad Abu Secretary The (short) to meet with the President of the General humanity for retirees Mr. Abd al-Rida Alhafazi broadly used.

The meeting focused on the first amendment to the law on retirement Standard No. 27 of 2006. Q : What is the amendment to the Pension Act No. 27 of the consolidated 2006? Please clarify to the reader the details of a simplified version. Rose-Finance Ministry draft bill first amendment to the pension law No. 27 of the consolidated 2006 and obtained the approval of the Council of Ministers to draft and obtained the approval of the state council and is now under discussion in the Chamber of Deputies. We are in the Humane Society of retirees in Iraq, representatives of the million and a half million pensioners believe that the Ministry of Finance Act proposed amendment has been assassinated Retirement Act No. 27 of 2006 before it sees the light. Article / 33 of the law approved by the elected national assembly has stipulated that the law is effective from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette. Since it was published in the Gazette Iraqi overwhelming No. 4-15 in the January 17, 2006 It was therefore incumbent on the Ministry of Finance application of the law of this date and then to consider amending it. We are in the Humane Society of retirees in Iraq have criticized the law but we considered the minimum acceptable at this stage are to be adjusted in the light of developments in the country's economic realities. The draft law proposed amendment repealed texts materials and replacement with new texts. As indicated below : A text of the article - canceled / 1 of the Act and make it under the first paragraph of the first article singled out the provisions of the law staff of the State civilian, military and security forces and the staff of public companies located in the service force of the law on those who receive a salary from the state and the salaries of Nstkota functional arrests pension contributions. That is, under this paragraph Section retirees into two category retiring before January 17, 2006 and the category of those placed on or after January 17, 2006 and this is a violation of the provisions of Article 14 of the Constitution which stipulates that the Iraqis are equal in rights and duties. The law proposed amendment would not be in the interest of both retired general was allocated to the retirement or transferred prior to its entry into force after the entry into force we do not know for many reasons, including the following : Article / 5 of the proposed law repealed Article / 7 of the law to be replaced by the following : Article / 7 First : count pension to the employee on the basis of cumulative rate of (2.5%) two and a half% of the rate of salary in the last service pension for each year of service pensions in one of the following situations : A - If the age of retirement is less than 60 years of service with pensions of not less than 25 years. B - If the age of retirement is less than 55 years of pension service has not less than 30 thirty years. C - if it was allocated to the retirement for health reasons. D - if he dies during service. E - if the military or security forces associate at the date of retirement is less than 50 years of service with pensions of not less than 20 years in Msklh. Under the second item of Article (7) amended the amendment granting rate of 2% of the rate of salary in the last service pension for each year of service pension If we look at Article / 7 of the Act to find it accounted for an amount below / 55% of salary if the last 15 years of service and are augmented by the 1.75% of salary for each year of service. We proposed the 60% who were 15 years of service and more upward by 2% for each year of service added to our letter No. 31 in the March 5, 2007 report to the Presidency of the Council of Deputies. The proposed amendment gives retired to 30% for those who completed 15 years of service and increased by 2% for each year added that any identified under Article / 8 of the amendment this percentage, although it stipulated under Article / 8 b that at least on the pension (130.000) one hundred and thirty thousand dinars whether period of service less than 25 years and we believe that the percentage of the minimum Walton 130.000 thousand dinars is not compatible with the economic situation and inflation in the country. Overall, the proposed amendment to Law No. 27 of 2006 would not be in the interest of retirees either retiring or force before retiring after the force. I use the example of this : if the retirement age (60) years with the service (25) years, the rate of salary after the amendment was 67.5% while it was 71.5% before the amendment Accordingly, the amendment does not serve the new retirees as shown does not serve the veterans because the amendment them at the mercy of the Minister of Finance upon the availability of funding. We also remind the Minister of Finance of what he said previously when it is recalled that that persuaded the representative of the World Bank to accept the salary retired 80% of his salary and not 70% note that covered 80% while the few who has 32 years of service and over the age of (55) years and the very low proportion of retirees . and said, the then Minister of Finance that the representative of the World Bank is satisfied because he told him : that many of the employees would retire when they do know that the rate will be 80%. How to retire staff whether the 80% it does not include only a few of them? That assassination clear and explicit minimum of retiree benefits. * Does the amendment in the belief retired Why? - No never has prepared the amendment deduced from the minimum of human retirees If we look at the previous retirement laws that are more than one third of a century to find it achieved better benefits for retirees of the Act No. 27 of 2006 as amended, let alone inflicting Haifa and unfair more retirees : like Civil Retirement Law No. 33 of 1966 and the law of military retirement No. 1 in 1975 and the retirement of the internal security forces, No. 55 of 1976. Therefore, we in the General humanity for retirees in Iraq define our demands at this stage the following : One application of the law-retirement standard No. 27 of 2006 as a text. 2-coverage retired all provisions of law. Although we consider the minimum acceptable at this stage, without exception or discrimination because any discrimination is a violation of the provisions of article / 14 of the Constitution. Three-rate differentials achieved for retirees as of the effective date of the law in January 17, 2006 and until the actual application of the law. * Methods might repeat you will soon retired to demonstrate against the new law when it is and how Thashdon retired for the day? What are the steps that you would be if it does not achieve its objectives demonstrations? - Yes, we have had the Humane Society of Retired demonstrations in Iraq on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 in the provinces of Karbala and Basra, and now we are preparing for massive demonstrations in the provinces of Babil, Dhi Qar and then followed by demonstrations in the provinces of Misan, Najaf and Wasit. The General is currently collecting signatures of retirees who reject the proposed amendment to the draft and call on all retirees audit headquarters located at the entrance of Sadoon Street Mosque against Alaurvli Kanoaaidhan either the Assembly or from non-members. We will spare no effort in order to receive their retirees that it is not one for which they must be legal entitlements to the State application. Is it not better officials who are granted themselves salary pension of 80% irrespective of the length of service retroactive to April 9, 2003, as evidenced ordered Prime Minister No. 9 of 2005 and amended by Order No. 31 of the ministerial 2005 and the retirement of members of the National Assembly No. 3 of 2005 is not better to give them Avni of his life in the service of the state and society of entitlement? Make it Tzahratna Aattassamatna and is a constant to have our rights in full. Nias will not retreat and we will not disappoint. Our clear and the voice is always right upper and always lifted his head. Q : What have achieved previously for retirees and what your projects for future service? - General for Humanitarian retired in Iraq has a lot of projects to the service segment of retirees. We have obtained the approval from the Council of Ministers / Secretariat its letter No. s / January 2 / 28 / 9276 to 18 / 10 / 2006 on the coverage of retirees Bill distribution of housing plots. As we get coverage of retirees housing loan We also have a consumer market, especially retirees of the members of our retirees for buying consumer goods and durable goods easy payment. In the intention to prepare a law to cover retirees at reduced rates in the mass of air and maritime transport, air, land and proposed to the Ministry of Finance to open new outlets for the distribution of pensions, including not only a burden, which basically tired and older. We have even proposed the opening of bank accounts deposited the salaries of retirees so that when he retired to withdraw from the balance amount he wants. We have also proposed the transfer of the retirement of the Assembly moved the current miserable. And divided into four directorates general directorate general of the Rasafah retirees and the Directorate General for retirees Karkh and Directorate General of retirees Sadr City, and the Directorate General of retirees nationwide. We do not work for this stage only, but we are working for the current retirees and retiring later. We appeal to members of the House of Representatives are elected legislative authority. We say to them : Amanhoa deserving of entitlement. We do not want a favor from anyone, but it is our right and Sennalh help honorable and good that the humanitarian of retirees, founded in November 2003 and has sought to win retirees their legal rights, humanitarian and social.

Now this is what I like to see!
