Baghdad, May 27, (VOI)- Heads of Iraqi parliamentary major blocs and the House's presidency will meet on Monday to discuss the names proposed By Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to fill up the seven vacant portfolios within his cabinet, a parliamentarian said on Sunday.

"The House Speaker intends to meet heads of the major blocs in the parliament prior to Monday's scheduled session to reach an agreement on the proposed ministerial reshuffle," lawmaker, Mohammed al-Khazaali, from the Shiite Fadhila party, told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).
Seven portfolios are still vacant in the Iraqi government after six Sadrist ministers quit Maliki's cabinet in addition to the justice minister who resigned early this year.

"It was scheduled for today's parliament morning session to witness a vote on the names of the nominees for the seven vacant portfolios but the parliament Speaker preferred to put off voting till more lawmakers would attend in the afternoon session but only 145 members out of the 275 members were present leading the Speaker to adjourn voting until tomorrow," al-Khazaali said.

A nominee needs at least 138 pro-votes to be a minister.

Before tomorrow's session, the lawmaker pointed out, Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani is scheduled to meet heads of the major parliamentary blocs to agree on the names proposed for the portfolios.

The major blocs in the Iraqi parliament are the Shiite Iraqi Unified Coalition (113 seats), the Kurdistan Coalition (55 seats), the Sunni Iraqi Accordance Front (44 seats), the Iraqi National List (25 seats), the Shiite Fadhila party (15 seats) and the Sunni National Dialogue Front.

Asked about the Fadhila party's view about the nominees, al-Khazaali replied "We have not decided yet about voting for or against the proposed names."

Earlier on Sunday, the Sadrist bloc, 30 seats within the Shiite Iraqi Unified Coalition, decided to vote against the proposed names on the grounds that they are not "technocratic enough."

Divide, rule and plunder
Nermeen Al-Mufti, Al-Ahram Weekly

Iraqis are being left in the dark about the real consequences of the proposed oil law Maliki and Bush are trying to impose on Iraq, writes Nermeen Al-Mufti

May 26, 2007

The law of oil and gas, due for debate at the parliament, has caused much controversy outside the country. Unfortunately, the local media has treated it as routine news, failing to explain its full significance to the public. The forceful manner in which the occupation authorities keep pushing for that law is alarming, especially at a time when all construction work in the country has ground to a halt due to widespread disturbances. If the law is passed, experts argue, US and multinational companies would benefit at Iraq's expense.

Parliament is divided over the law. Those who don't mind a divided Iraq praise the law for its "fair" distribution of oil revenues. The Kurds, who were hoping to get the lion's share of oil revenues, oppose the law; so do others who believe that the law would lead to the partition of the country.

Most recent governments have promised a fair distribution of oil revenues. Every government had a plan, but none of them have been implemented. One plan was to give an allowance from oil money to employees along with their monthly salaries, but how would people not working for the government get their share? Iraq is now importing fuel from abroad, although it has the second largest oil reserves in the world. Iraq still suffers from fuel shortages, although the government has removed oil subsidies upon the advice of the World Bank.

Jenan Ali, an expert in Iraqi affairs, says that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice asked Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki to pass the new law. President Bush has on more than one occasion expressed the same wish. All of this is indication, Ali says, that the US president wants oil as a trophy. "The US president wants to feel that he won the oil, although he lost the war." Ali dislikes the obtuse phrasing of the law. "Concerning contracts with foreign companies, we don't know if the companies in question intend to operate the existing fields or develop new ones."

According to the draft law, the revenues of oil and gas would be distributed among the entire nation, in accordance with the population density of every region. The law gives the regions the right to negotiate and sign oil deals. But no agreement is final unless approved by the central government.

Issam Al-Chalabi was Iraq's petroleum minister from 1978- 1990. A much-respected expert both at home and abroad, Chalabi says that the law is a "ready-made recipe to divide Iraq." Speaking to Al-Ahram Weekly, he admits that the country needs an oil law. "It also needs to restructure the Ministry of Petroleum, but is this the right time?"

The government in Kurdistan has drawn up laws to attract investment and signed contracts to develop the petroleum industry. Such behaviour, Chalabi argues is "hasty". He calls on Iraqi oil experts to urge the postponement of the law. The law should be discussed only after constitutional amendments are approved, he says. "The oil sector in Iraq needs maintenance. The petroleum industry is in a terrible condition as a result of the general situation in the country. Petroleum installations have been subject to a lot of sabotage, smuggling, and looting."

According to Chalabi, racketeers have sabotaged Iraqi pipelines to steal oil and smuggle it to neighbouring countries. The smugglers use small boats in the Shatt Al-Arab sea passage. There are seven docks on the Shatt Al-Arab, all controlled by politically-backed militias and racketeers, he says. "The losses exceed $1 billion a year." Chalabi fears that due to the vagueness of the law foreign corporations would exploit existing oil fields instead of developing new ones.

Following a symposium about the law, 61 Iraqi oil experts signed a petition to parliament in which they questioned the "timing" of the law, its "compatibility" with the constitution, and its "economic value" for the country as a whole.

Opposition to the law doesn't come solely from experts such as Chalabi. Prominent politicians also spoke out against the law. One is Abdul-Hadi Al-Hassani of Al-Daawa Party (the prime minister's party), who noted his objections to the law during a seminar he organised in London.

The law is supposed to set up a central body -- the Federal Council for Oil and Gas (FCOG) -- to draw up oil policies. The FCOG would ask "an office of independent advisers" to help out with technical details regarding concessions, contracts and production.

An Iraqi oil expert, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Weekly that the "office of independent advisers" could be just another name for giant US corporations. "The new law would place Iraq's oil fields in the hands of foreign companies for decades, and after the companies have their cut, the Iraqis would be left short, perhaps with as little as 14 per cent of the revenues," the expert said.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Maliki has invited Iranian companies to build four oil refineries in south Iraq. The Iraqi Petroleum Ministry has confirmed that Iranian companies will be submitting bids for the refineries. If the Iranians have their way, they would seize a large portion of Iraq's oil, refine it and export it through a pipeline passing through Abadan, experts say.

A parliamentarian speaking to the Weekly on condition his name be withheld said that it would be a mistake to pass the law first and amend it later, as some are trying to do. That would leave the country in a debacle similar to the one created by the hastily-approved constitution, he remarked.

Draft Capital Market Reorganization Bill

Tabatabai re-elected Chairman of the Stock Exchange Trustees Board Translated by IRAQdirecotry.com - [27/05/2007]

The General Institution of the Iraqi Securities Market re-elected Tabatabai during an extensed meeting of the Institution as Chairman of the Trustees Board and Taha Ahmed Abdul Salam as executive director of the market, with the participation of representatives from the Securities Body and other parties in the market.

Tabatabai expected that the coming period would witness the completion of a draft capital market bill, allowing stock market investment activity to satisfy a large segment of Iraqi investors.

He pointed out the most prominent achievements of the bourse since it was reactivated three years ago: opening to investors, obtaining a modern headquarters, completion of preparations for electronic trading, and allowing non-Iraqis to participate.

He said that it intends to transform the Iraqi securities market into a commercial contributory company and access immigrant Iraqis' capital, indicating an intention to encourage Iraqi mediators to open foreign offices to support investment and bourse activity

Visa International's services may serve to create a healthier economic environment in Iraq
Visa International, recently took part in the IZDIHAR Iraq Private Sector Growth and Employment Generation Banking and Finance Conference.

Jordan, 28 May 2007 (AME Info FZ LLC)

Visa International, recently took part in the IZDIHAR Iraq Private Sector Growth and Employment Generation Banking and Finance Conference.
The event, organized by USAID, was held last month at the Amman Intercontinental Hotel.
Mr. Naser Abu Ghazaleh, Visa International's Regional Manager for the Levant, represented the organization at the two day event. As part of his participation in the event's proceedings, he gave a ten minute presentation about the benefits that electronic payment systems present to the Iraqi people and the products that are most suitable for the current financial and security situations in Iraq.
'Despite the turbulent security conditions seen in Iraq, reports issued by IZDIHAR show that most Iraqis still have a tendency to carry tens of thousands of dollars in their pockets. For those people, electronic payment systems may in fact present a more ideal solution. Work, however, still needs to be done in Iraq to spread awareness of the benefits that Visa International provides for such a society. More people in Iraq need to know that through Visa International they can access funds from anywhere in the world and this in turn means that they no longer need to carry large amounts of cash in a country where it is unsafe and unwise to do so. Furthermore, having more people use the services that Visa International provides allows for more economic growth, especially since more people will automatically be brought into the banking system. With more people in the banking system, more funds are put in bank deposits and therefore more funds are taken out of the grey market and put to more productive use such as retail loans,' said Mr. Abu Ghazaleh.
'The debit card presents itself as a card for individuals seeking a secure payment solution for their day to day transactions, since it is one that is linked to the cardholder's bank account. The prepaid card from Visa International targets new customers who may not be eligible for a Visa credit card or a current account, enabling the banks to extend their cardholder base. Both of these payment tools are sure to be received with high demand from different sectors in the Iraqi community, for the Iraqi population is diversified in nature, and we at Visa International have payment products to cater to such a diversified demographic make-up.'
Ending his presentation on a high note, Mr. Abu Ghazaleh thanked Visa International's member banks throughout the Levant. He stated 'Without the help of our member banks, Visa International wouldn't be doing so well in the region. They are our partners and together we hope to spread more awareness about our payment solutions and to highlight them as the secure and convenient payment solutions that they are. Visa International's Levant office is also ready to provide the support needed for the Iraqi and regional banks who are interested in launching new electronic payment systems and offer assistance in terms of membership applications, identifying suitable vendors, product segmentation, and others.'
It is important to note that IZDIHAR is a comprehensive, 3-year program designed to assist the Government of Iraq, and to expand the private sector so that more jobs are created for varying sectors within the Iraqi community. The program achieves this goal by developing a more market-friendly environment for economic growth. IZDIHAR is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and is implemented in partnership with the Iraqi private sector and government. Awareness conferences like this one are part of the many tools it uses to promote more economic prosperity in Iraq, and they serve as a perfect venue to showcase all what the Iraqi economic arena has to offer.

People-Reuters

فيما تشهد الساحة العراقية تطورات سياسية قد تحدث تحولا في الاوضاع باتجاه انفراج نسبي او انفلات شامل يواجه رئيس الوزراء العراقي نوري المالكي بعد عام في السلطة اتهامات بعدم الوفاء بوعوده وعدم تنفيذ التغييرات المطلوبة لتحقيق الاستقرار في البلاد.

With the Iraqi arena has been political developments may occur shift in the direction of detente relative or loose comprehensive facing Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in power after accusations of not fulfilling its promises and not implement the changes required to achieve stability in the country.

ففيما كثفت الاحزاب السياسية اجتماعاتها من اجل تعزيز مشروع المصالحة الوطنية وتفعيل دور العرب السنة في قيادة الحكومة والاجهزة الامنية الى جانب مناقشة التعديلات الدستورية ومشروع قانون النفط المثير، وفيما تزداد الضغوط على الرئيس الامريكي لسحب قواته من العراق، فان المالكي يبدو عاجزا عن تقديم حلول للمشاكل الرئيسية في البلاد وقد فشل لأكثر من مرة طوال عام في تغيير ولو جزء من وزراء حكومته المتعثرة والمتهمة بالضعف، وهو ما يلقي بظلال من الشك حول امكانية استمراره في رئاسة الحكومة.

With political parties intensified their meetings in order to promote national reconciliation project and activate the role of Sunni Arabs in the leadership of the government and security apparatus to discuss the constitutional amendments and the bill is oil, with increasing pressure on President Bush to withdraw troops from Iraq the Maliki appears to be unable to offer solutions to the major problems in the country have failed more than once throughout the year to change even a part of the ministers in his government and accused of defaulting weak, which casts doubts on the viability of the government.

تولى المالكي السلطة في صورة رجل قوي قادر على اتخاذ القرارات الصعبة خاصة فيما يتعلق بكبح جماح جيش المهدي وهي ميليشيا شيعية موالية لرجل الدين الشيعي مقتدى الصدر متهمة بإدارة فرق موت طائفية.

Maliki took power in the image of a strong man capable of making the hard decisions particularly with regard to curbing the Mahdi Army, a militia loyal to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr accused the Shiite management sectarian death squads.

ويقر مسؤولون من داخل الائتلاف الذي يقوده المالكي ومن خارجه بأن تحقيق الاستقرار في العراق قد يكون "مهمة مستحيلة"لكنهم قالوا ان المالكي كان يتعين عليه تعديل مجلس الوزراء الضعيف الذي فشل في تقديم الخدمات الاساسية وتحقيق الامن.

It recognizes officials from within the coalition led by Maliki and outside that achieving stability in Iraq would be a "mission impossible", but they said that al-Maliki had to be amended by the Council of Ministers weak failed to provide basic services and security.

وفشلت سلسلة من الخطط الامنية المدعومة من الولايات المتحدة في انهاء العنف في البلاد في حين كثف المسلحون هجماتهم خارج العاصمة.

The failed series of security plans backed by the United States in ending the violence in the country, while gunmen intensified their attacks outside the capital.

ويقول بعض المسؤولين من السنة العرب ان مستشاري المالكي وأغلبهم من أعضاء حزب الدعوة الشيعي الذي ينتمي اليه المالكي قد أعطوا رئيس الوزراء صورة مشوهة ومنحازة عن الوضع.

And some officials say that the Sunni Arab advisers Maliki, the majority of the members of the Shiite Dawa Party, to which he belongs Maliki Prime Minister had given a distorted picture of the situation and unbiased.

وقال مسؤول شيعي بارز ان انصار الصدر سمحوا للمالكي في بادئ الامر بالقيام بحملة على جيش المهدي"الصدريون أعطوا المالكي فرصة عظيمة.فرصة لم يعطوها ولن يعطوها لاي رئيس وزراء اخر..أعطوه الضوء الاخضر لملاحقة الميليشيا."

The official said that a prominent Shiite Sadr's followers have allowed the owners initially campaigning for the Mahdi Army, "Sadrion gave Maliki a great opportunity. The opportunity to impart will not impart any Prime Minister of another .. Ordaya green light to prosecute militia. "

وأضاف أن حكومة المالكي الضعيفة وقوات الامن غير الفعالة المخترقة من الميليشيات فشلت في الاستفادة من هذه الفرصة.

He added that the government Maliki weak and ineffective security forces piercing militias failed to take advantage of this opportunity.

ويتفق المحللون على أن حكومة المالكي غير قادرة على السيطرة على أجزاء كبيرة من العراق وانهاء العنف.

Analysts agree that Maliki government is not able to control large parts of Iraq and ending the violence.

وقال مسؤول حكومي لرويترز "الكل يعرف الان أن الحكومة لا تفي بالتزاماتها.المالكي نفسه يعرف ذلك ولذلك يستمر في قطع الوعود للشعب بإجراء تعديل".

A government official told Reuters : "Everyone knows now that the government is not fulfilling its obligations. Maliki himself knows this and therefore continue to spare promises to the people through an amendment. "

والوقت مهم جدا لأن القائد الامريكي في العراق سيعد تقريرا عن التقدم الذي تحقق في سبتمبر أيلول المقبل بعد تدفق آلاف القوات الاضافية على البلاد.

And time is very important because the American commander in Iraq would prepare a report on the progress made in September of next influx of thousands of additional troops to the country.

وتريد واشنطن ان يتم تحقيق أهداف مهمة لانهاء العنف بحلول ذلك الوقت.

And Washington wants to be important for achieving the goals of ending the violence by that time.

وتشمل هذه الأهداف تعديل الدستور وقانون نفط جديد يساعد في جذب الاستثمارات وانهاء حظر على تولي أعضاء حزب البعث السابقين مناصب حكومية.

These goals include amending the constitution and the law of new oil helps in attracting investments, and end the ban on former Baath Party members government posts.

وتعهد المالكي الذي اعتمد على الصدر في الحصول على دعم سياسي مرارا بتعديل مجلس وزرائه لتعيين وزراء أكثر كفاءة.لكن وعوده لم تسفر عن شيء.

He pledged Maliki, which was adopted on the chest to obtain political support repeatedly amended his Cabinet ministers to appoint more efficient. But the return has not yielded anything.

والشهر الماضي سحب الصدريون وزراءهم الستة من الحكومة وتركوا للمالكي اختيار من يحل محلهم.لكن المالكي يتهم الان من داخل ائتلافه بالحرص الشديد على ترقية المقربين منه بشكل شخصي ومساعديه من حزب الدعوة.

Last month, the withdrawal Sadrion six ministers from the government and left for the owners to elect their replacements. But Maliki accuses now inside his coalition caution promotions companions personally and his aides of the Dawa Party.

ودافع مسؤولون بالحكومة عن المالكي بقولهم ان النظام السياسي العراقي المتصدع يجعل من الصعب على رجل واحد تحقيق انجازات كبيرة.

Government officials defended the Malki commented that the Iraqi political system disease makes it difficult for one man to achieve great achievements.

وقال مسؤول شيعي اخر "يتعين ارضاء الجميع.البرلمان والفصائل السياسية والقيادة الدينية والجماعات العرقية والطائفية جميعها على قائمته ويتعين عليه التعامل مع كل ذلك."

The official said Shiite another "must satisfy everyone. Parliament and political factions and religious leadership, ethnic groups and creeds all on the roster and must deal with all that. "

وأضاف "وما يزيد على ذلك هو ان كل هذه الجماعات لا تعمل معا أو تنسق العمل فيما بينها".

He added, "and over is that all of these groups do not work together or coordinate with each other."
