SGS's link now shows that the schedule no longer mentions it and it is starting to seem that HCL and the ssudden inflow of oil contracts was what had spurred the WTO speeded up entry after all...

WHAT HAPPEN???

This morning it was all done...just needed to be introduced on Tuesday and there were the votes to pass it...it was a brokered deal between the members of the President's council, the President and the PM.

Bettcha, that the Shittis in the end could not vote for 140/142 and be safe! It seemed hard to belive that any Shitti politician would vote to remove Shitti Arabs from their homes to be replaced by Kurds and, thus...IMO sunk the deal...which sunk the HCL...which sunk the oil Conference...which sunk the WTO...which may have shipwreaked our RV till the distance future if ever now at all...it's all gone to cr*p in less than six hours...

Sorry!

dude, one word... XANAX!!!

IRAQ. Following consultation with senior officials from the Iraqi government, the Kurdistan Regional Government and the US Embassy Baghdad the organisers have said it is necessary to reschedule the Iraq Oil, Gas, Petrochemical & Electricity Summit for 2-4 September 2007. This has come about as a result of ongoing negotiations concerning Iraq’s proposed new hydrocarbon law.

i saw it and its no reason to panic, as i said you were telling everyone not to panic but you were doing it in big letters and forcefully. seemed as if you were the only one paniced.

Looks as if September may have arrived a bit early this year! . . .

Iraq holds oil law talks

Iraqi officials are holding talks in Baghdad over a draft oil law, to overcome last-minute disagreements between the central government and the Kurdish region, officials said on Monday.

Iraq sits on the world's third-largest oil reserves and officials have been struggling since last year to finalise the draft law, which is vital for Iraq to attract investment from foreign firms to boost its oil output and rebuild its economy.

The cabinet approved the draft in February but it still needs to be passed by parliament.

The legislation is crucial to regulating how wealth from Iraq's oil reserves would be shared by its sectarian and ethnic groups.

Last month, Kurds from Iraq's oil-rich north threatened to block the law in parliament and clashed with the central government over some of its annexes, raising the prospect of more delays that dogged the lengthy drafting of the legislation.

Iraqi officials told Reuters that talks to iron out the disputes between Kurdish, Sunni Arab and Shi'ite officials began in the capital on Sunday after preliminary discussions in Kurdistan.

"We have started the talks. We hope we will overcome the problems," one official at the meeting said.

It was not clear how long the meetings will continue but Iraqi officials have said they hoped parliament will pass the draft by end of May.

The threat to fight the bill in Iraq's national parliament came days after the Oil Ministry in Baghdad warned regions against signing contracts until the landmark law was passed.

The Kurds have objections over some annexes in the draft which would wrest oilfields from regional governments and place them under a new state oil company.

Iraq's Kurdistan regional government has signed several agreements with foreign companies, including a service contract last month with United Arab Emirate's Dana Gas.

A coalition of Kurdish political parties in Iraq's national parliament holds 53 seats in the 275-member legislature.

"Everybody is aware that we need to pass this law, it is for our interest," a senior oil industry official told Reuters.

"They all agree on the law itself but there are some details which need to be reviewed. I hope it will not take long this time," the offical said.

Adster is saying they have cancelled the Summit becuase they have no passed Oil Law. Won't be passed before the end of May sorry to say. We've gotta hope for before their hols in July it is passed.....

Does seem that Adster was correct and it has been cancelled, IRAQ. Following consultation with senior officials from the Iraqi government, the Kurdistan Regional Government and the US Embassy Baghdad the organisers have said it is necessary to reschedule the Iraq Oil, Gas, Petrochemical & Electricity Summit for 2-4 September 2007. This has come about as a result of ongoing negotiations concerning Iraq’s proposed new hydrocarbon law.
