Jordan vows to support Iraq's political process
2006-10-19

AMMAN, Oct. 18 (Xinhua) -- Jordanian Prime Minister Marouf Bakhet reiterated on Wednesday the Kingdom's support to Iraq's current political process and the reconciliation project among Iraqi people which ensures the unity of Iraq, the official news agency Petra reported.

Bakhet made the remarks during a meeting with visiting Iraqi Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi, who arrived in Amman Tuesday on a several-day visit for talks with senior Jordanian officials.

Bakhet said Iraq and Jordan have "historical relations" and they should sustain consultation and coordination for the mutual interests of both countries and Arab national security.

Al-Hashimi, on his part, called for Jordan's support to help Iraqi government forge ahead with national reconciliation projects and stop Iraqi bleeding.

"Iraq needs a new vision in handling the crisis," al-Hashimi said, adding that it is necessary to rebuild and impose security and stability in Iraq.

The Iraqi plight will persist till those who interfere in the Iraqi internal affairs stop their interference, the Iraqi Vice President noted, pointing out that this interference harms the Arab national security and a unified Arab stance should be formed to face this interference.

The meeting also touched bilateral relations between the two countries, according to Petra. Enditem

I believe that is because the Dinar is pegged to the USD which has gained alot in the last couple days. When you put the IQD /USD symbols its a flat line because they are pegged together.

Iraq oil company starts crude exports to Turkey
KIRKUK: Iraq has resumed exports of crude oil to the Turkish port of Ceyhan after an interruption for several months, according to an official of Iraq's Northern Oil Company (NOC).

This good news for Iraq's troubled oil industry came, however, as the largest refinery in the country was shut down for the fourth day running due to a lack of electricity.

"After several months of interruption, pumping resumed permanently following intermittent and irregular pumping over the past month," said the NOC company executive, who asked not be identified for his own safety.

The interruption, stemmed from continuous attacks on the pipelines, problems with the storage facilities in Ceyhan and general deterioration of the pipelines due to age.

In June, the NOC also announced a resumption of exports to Turkey following a four-month hiatus, but the resulting flow was still sporadic.

This time around, however, the company is confident that increased security on the pipeline will ensure the exports remain steady.

The company managed to get a consistent flow going by Thursday night and now the pipeline is carrying 250,000-350,000 barrels per day

Most of Iraq's oil production, some 2m bpd, comes from the south, although international experts agree that the northern fields are under-developed.

The news came at the same time that the massive Baiji refinery in central Iraq was shut down due to a breakdown of the nearby thermal power station.

"The Baiji refinery stopped its production of products for the fourth successive day due to electricity cuts," said a refinery official.

Iraq suffers from a chronic shortage of petrol, kerosene and other fuel products resulting in endless lines at the petrol stations.

When the Baiji refinery is working, Iraq produces 10m litres of petrol domestically, barely half of the 22m litres daily demand.

Very good. Yes, as long as the dinar is pegged to the dollar then the range of movement is limited......It's only because the dollar has strengthened in the last few days that we're seeing it changing.

Shabibi has to change the monetary policies and alter the exchange rate. He has to press that button.
