Wasn't there something about if it was not published then it automatically went in to effect after a certain period of time????

UNITED NATIONS, Nov 30 (KUNA) -- Secretary-General Kofi Annan told the Security Council on Thursday that he supports the transition of the International Advisory and Monitoring Board (IAMB)'s functions of overseeing the Development Fund for Iraq (DFI) to an Iraqi-constituted body, explaining that difficult conditions in Iraq have not allowed the oversight body to carry out its mandate.

"I am concerned that the conditions in Iraq have not allow the IAMB to carry out its work in the comprehensive fashion that I or the council would have wised. In these circumstances, I support the transition of the IAMB functions to an Iraqi-constituted body," Annan said in his letter to the council.

IAMB was set up by the council in 2003 to oversee the financial position of the DFI, which is the principal repository for the proceeds of oil export sales from Iraq, and make sure it is run in a transparent manner.

He said while he hoped that this might be possible at the end of 2006, "the council may wish to determine for itself the best timing for this transfer of responsibilities".

Annan acted upon recommendation of his representative in the IAMB Jean-Pierre Halbwachs. The board's other members are the Kuwaiti-based Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and an Iraqi representative.

Annan conveyed to the council a letter Halbwachs wrote to him and in which he said the board met last October to discuss among other things the establishment by the Iraqi government of an oversight body to succeed the board at the end of 2006.

Halbwacks noted at the same time that Ernst and Young, a US Audit company the board hired to look into the DFI financial statements, presented a report covering the first six months of this year and in which it noted "progress in the financial control system, (but it) continues to be critical of the financial and accounting control systems".

"The overall control system needs to be further improved to be sufficiently effective," Halbwacks said in his letter.

He said the board was briefed by the President of the Iraqi Board of Supreme Audit (BSA) on progress in implementing earlier IAMB recommendations.

He noted that while IAMB welcomed the Iraqi government's implementation of the recommendations, it "continues to reiterate its concern that key actions, especially the installation of an oil metering system, needed to be comprehensive and were taking a long time to implement".

Halbwacks also noted that another audit company that reviewed US sole-sourced contracts reported a total of USD 22.4 million in unresolved amounts relating, among other things, to no evidence of goods received.

"In view of these findings, the IAMB recommended that the Iraqi government seek resolution with the US government concerning the use of resources of the DFI which might be in contradiction with the UN Security Council resolutions," Halbwacks said.

He recalled that the board's mandate expires later this year and "it is important to continue the oversight role over oil export sales ... and that an oversight body should be set up by the government of Iraq that would be independent, competent and professional, to ensure the continued oversight".

To assist in a smooth transition to an Iraqi oversight body, he added, the board formulated a set of recommendations on the modalities of such an oversight body and forwarded them to the Iraqi Prime Minister for consideration.

He said the Iraqi representative on the board informed the members in late October that the Iraqi council of Ministers approved the establishment of an Iraqi oversight body entitled "the Committee of Financial Experts," to be chaired by the President of BSA.

"The IAMB welcomed the establishment of the Committee of Financial Experts to continue the work of the IAMB upon its dissolution at the end of 2006," Halbwacks said. (end) sj.
