The report pointed out that the export depends on the levels of production volume of crude oil which has fluctuated from a plan for the three years mentioned. The report pointed out that the planned production for 2004 at 2.686 million barrels a day was made with actual production of 1.995 barrels / day and 691 thousand barrels a difference Losses have been estimated at 21.829 million dollars per day. The planned production for 2005 was at 2.427 million b / m, while the actual production 1.856 million b / m and 571 thousand barrels a difference and losses estimated at 25.99 million dollars.

That report focused on other reasons for the low levels of production, including low productivity wells producing oil and the failure to develop new oilfields and draining wells. All of this led to the expansion of productive capacity.

    Economic : the privatization of the Iraqi economy between refusal and acceptance

    The name Abdul Hadi Hassan The theme of the relationship between the public and private sectors is not new and have already occupied the top of the economic literature at the international level in the 1950s but the new thing is that the deal comes amid international circumstances and facts differ radically from those that the world knew in that period. In Iraq, and due to the conditions experienced during recent decades and the impact of the negative effects on the reality of the economy, especially in the years of embargo and caused a serious deterioration in the structure of the productive and service components of the process of privatization is one of the policies in question is within the range of policies to meet the rapid deterioration in the economy. This shift comes after the Iraq Central Administration for nearly three decades, although it has limited experience in the implementation of decentralization in some economic activities since the late 1980s of the last century, but the question remains : Will the process of privatization is the magic solution to address the problems facing the Alaghtasse Ed Iraq? and if so, why not applied so far? and what are the chances of the success of privatization in the light of the current political and security?. The past two decades have witnessed many arguments between supporters and opponents of privatization based supporters to the agreement, As opposed by others on the negative repercussions One of the most important advantages to achieve economic efficiency, Supporters of privatization shows that the private sector is more efficient in the management of projects compared with the results achieved by the public sector during the course of his work as well as the expansion of production through the entry of a greater number of producers to the economy and increase economic affairs interested and encourage savings and attract foreign investment and national Adh the scourge to the revitalization and development of the financial market and reduce the size of the public debt and increase government efficiency in the management of public enterprises and develop the skills of the remaining workers, which imposed competition and trade openness. The main disadvantages are the increase in unemployment (in the short term) and the concentration of wealth, particularly in the case of privatized enterprises in the hands of a few bourgeois as well as draining the national wealth, which often occur in the case of projects in the hands of foreign investors, according to assess weak privatized projects. The consequences of privatization vary according to the characteristics of the economies of the countries have applied and those characteristics : 1-percentage contribution from both the public and private sectors in the composition of GDP. 2-administrative efficiency and productivity enjoyed by both sectors. 3-degree of trade openness of the country. 4-unemployment rate and extent of the state's ability to absorb it. Five-size private savings and the efficiency of the financial market. 6-number of enterprises to be privatized and size. 7-economic and political stability. Based on what progress we can say that the privatization of the Iraqi economy at this stage facing serious problems mainly the absence of clear strategic vision, as evidenced by the formation of the disbanding of the Commission of privatization and more than once during the past three years, as well as the crisis of security and political vacuum and its negative impacts on the economic side, which requires the postponement of privatization at the present time and the gradual shift to the future through advance planning, especially for investment returns expected to amortize part of the domestic public debt, as well as the importance of such proceeds P j promote productive projects needed by Iraq in the coming stage. On the other hand, according to the characteristics of the Iraqi economy, preferably use the following methods : 1-selling small enterprises and non-task directly. 2-privatization of large enterprises and the management task to achieve production efficiency and increase profits (by the private sector) and at the same time maintaining an efficient distribution (in the public sector). 3-privatization of the management and ownership of projects that require a high technological capacity through the sale to a foreign investor with the requirement in the contract of sale on the contribution of Iraqi manpower in the project, as did South Korea. Finally, it must be emphasized on the gradual shift in this area, in a shift away from the shock and to the success of this process should involve all the parties concerned of academics and technocrats and do not forget the required outreach to the public in order to neutralize the ideological direction and the line of substantive work only Over that will support the success of the process.

    Default Ethnic Tensions Increasing In Oil-Rich City

    By Sumedha Senanayake
    Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty
    November 2, 2006

    As the government committee charged with reversing the "Arabization" policy pursued in Kirkuk under former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein attempts to complete its constitutionally mandated task, ethnic tensions have increased as each community vies for control of the oil-rich northern city.

    Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution outlines a three-step process to remove and reverse the Hussein-era "Arabization" policy in Kirkuk. The Ba'athist regime took extreme measures in the 1980s and 1990s to expel Kurds, Turkomans, and Christians from the city, including the Anfal campaign, and replacing the indigenous population with Arabs. Post-Hussein governments have adopted a policy of "normalizing" Kirkuk through the repatriation of those displaced from their homes and the relocation of Arab settlers to nearby areas or to their traditional homes in the south.

    The next 18 months will be crucial for the future of Kirkuk, as the Kirkuk Normalization Committee will need to have completed its task and the question of which region the city should belong to will be answered by 2007, when a census and referendum will take place. This should determine whether Kirkuk will be annexed by the semi-autonomous Kurdish region in northern Iraq.

    Tensions Between Kurds, Turkomans

    While members of the committee charged with implementing Article 140 are meant to be impartial, tensions have broken out among different ethnic groups, who accuse the committee of being one-sided. Many of these accusations have come from representatives of non-Kurdish groups who believe that Article 140 only supports Kurdish interests.

    Under the pretext of reversing the forced Arabization campaign, more than 100,000 Kurds have returned to Kirkuk, thereby altering the city's demographics in their favor. Indeed, the implementation of Article 140 would most likely result in a Kurdish majority and Kirkuk will most likely be appropriated into the Kurdish autonomous region.

    Jamal Shan, the deputy head of the Iraqi Turkoman Front (ITC), said on October 2 that the implementation of Article 140 would be detrimental to the Turkomans because it would adversely affect the Turkoman areas, the Kurdish weekly "Hawlati" reported. The ITC is known to have strong ties to Turkey and holds three seats in parliament. "We will act as an obstacle in the way of implementing Article 140" because it will "endanger the geography of the Turkoman [territories]," Shan said.

    Conversely, the Kurds were angry when on October 21 Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki appointed a Turkoman to the committee after the Turkomans complained that Article 140 only served Kurdish interests, (see "RFE/RL Newsline," October 22, 2006). Qadir Aziz, a representative of Kurdistan Democratic Party leader Mas'ud Barzani, stressed that Kurds are the majority in Kirkuk "The decision was only meant to please the Turkoman Front," he said.

    Turkish, Iranian Apprehensions

    Turkey and Iran have voiced opposition to Article 140 and the upcoming referendum concerning Kirkuk, indicating that both Tehran and Ankara are well-aware of the current demographic situation in the city. At the same time, several Iraqi officials believe Turkey and possibly Iran are behind some of the recent violence in northern Iraq, especially in Kirkuk. Turkey has been quite vocal in its opposition to an expansion of the Kurdish autonomous region, let alone an independent Kurdish state. Ankara fears such a state would become a focal point of nationalism and separatism within its own Kurdish population, and oil-rich Kirkuk could be the foundation of a powerful future Kurdish economy. In addition, Turkey has consistently backed the Turkomans, who are ethnic Turks, and their historical claims to Kirkuk. This raises the suspicion among Iraq's Kurds that Turkey is interfering in Iraq's internal affairs by supporting Turkoman aspirations to counter Kurdish claims to the city.

    Iran, too, has a sizable Kurdish population and Iranian leaders have indicated they are not comfortable with an independent Kurdish state, but prefer a Shi'ite-led central government that they could influence. Iran and Turkey have cooperated for months in a military campaign against Turkish-Kurdish fighters holed up in the mountainous areas inside Iraqi territory. On September 5, Iran was accused of shelling the town of Mandali, deep in Iraqi territory, in an effort to oust anti-Iranian Kurdish guerrillas, international media reported.

    In response, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani issued a sharp warning in an interview with U.S. National Public Radio on September 25, that his government was prepared to support opposition groups in Iran, Turkey, and Syria if Iraq's neighbors did not stop interfering in its internal affairs, (see "RFE/RL Newsline,” September 26, 2006).

    "We are asking them [Iraq's neighbors] to stop interfering in our internal affairs, and especially the sovereignty and independence of Iraq," he said. "If the violence doesn't stop, the Iraqi people will support the opposition of other countries and will try to make trouble for them as they have done for us."

    Prospects For Kirkuk's Future

    September was seen as one of the bloodiest months in Kirkuk, as the city witnessed an unprecedented surge in violence. According to the U.S. military, there have been 20 suicide bombings and 63 roadside bombs since August. For many, the attacks were seen as a warning to stop the implementation of Article 140, as well as an attempt to accentuate the ethnic tensions within the city. The wave of violence has increased tensions among the Kurdish, Arab, and Turkoman populations, and the next 18 months may witness even more violence as the referendum nears.

    The stakes are extremely high. With Kirkuk housing the second-largest oil fields in Iraq and accounting for 70 percent of Iraq's natural-gas deposits, the issue of oil revenues further underscores the strategic importance of the city.

    Kirkuk, in a sense, is a microcosm of Iraq, with its mixture of ethnic groups and religious sects jockeying for power. Thus, if the situation in Kirkuk could be reconciled, it could perhaps be a model for resolving the divisions and sectarian strife currently engulfing Iraq as a whole. As an unnamed Western diplomat told "The Guardian" on October 28, "If Kirkuk survives, then there is hope for Iraq."

    Cheers!
