    *** GOOD ARTICLE FROM YESTERDAY WORTH REPEATING I THINK ***

    Iraqi Politicians Push
    For More Power to Provinces


    By: Mushreq Abbas for Al-Monitor Iraq Pulse Posted on July 16.

    The Iraqi parliament’s passage on June 23 of the Provincial Powers Law, which bolsters decentralization and gives local governments added authority, encouraged politicians to demand that the Federation Council Law be revived in a bid to further strengthen decentralization.

    Summary :
    The Iraqi parliament’s passing of the Provincial Powers Law has led to calls for the establishment of the Federation Council, which would further decentralize power as stipulated in the 2005 constitution.
    Original Title:
    Renewed Impetus in Iraq for the Establishment of the Long Awaited Federation Council
    Author: Mushreq Abbas
    Translated by: Kamal Fayad

    Categories : Originals Iraq


    The 2005 Iraqi constitution states in Article 65 that “a legislative council shall be established named the ‘Federation Council’ to include representatives from the regions and the governorates that are not organized in a region. A law, enacted by a two-thirds majority of the members of the Council of Representatives, shall regulate the Federation Council formation, its membership conditions, its competencies and all that is connected with it.” The council has not yet seen the light of day, despite the parliament submitting a draft law to organize it in 2009.

    The importance of the Federation Council lies in its function as a permanent overseer of relations between the central government and the governments of the regions and provinces. The Federation Council’s powers were the subject of disagreements that hindered the adoption of this earlier version of the law. Penned by the parliamentary Provinces Committee, it gave the council powers in keeping with the developments that followed the adoption of the Provinces Law.

    On July 8, Nabil Harbo, a member of the Provinces Committee, stated, “The council’s powers lie in its capacity to monitor all pieces of legislation adopted by parliament. It also has the power to veto any decisions aimed at diminishing the authority of provinces. The council will filter out all laws adopted by parliament, and has the authority to either pass those laws or reject them.”

    This view of the council’s powers is clearly representative of the parties that favor decentralization. They consider it an additional safety valve safeguarding the authorities that regions and provinces have gained of late. It is a vision undoubtedly crystallizing and expanding to include most of Iraq’s political spectrum, thus leading to the resurgence of demands for the formation of a new council.

    The parliamentary Committee on Legal Affairs has confirmed that the current disputes surrounding the Federation Council merely involve procedural matters and formalities, such as the number of representatives allowed from each province and the quota of women and minorities on the council.

    In a statement to Al-Monitor, Latif Mustafa, a member of the Committee on Legal Affairs, revealed, “Iraq’s 18 provinces will each have four representatives, with the exception of the capital, which some people are saying should be represented by more than four.” He also mentioned the demand for quotas for women and minorities.

    These demands are not fundamental ones, which means that the draft law has a good chance of being adopted by year’s end, giving Iraqi provinces the representative capacity needed to review federal laws that affect their well-being and to propose laws that safeguard their interests.

    As noted, the constitution stipulates that passing the Federation Council Law requires a two-thirds parliamentary majority. This type of majority is also required when electing a new president. By setting this condition, Iraqi legislators sought to give the Federation Council added national importance, while making it a rallying point around which the main political forces agree. This condition and the difficulty in achieving it have been the main issues hindering progress in adopting the law until now.

    On Feb. 1, 2012, the United Nations called on Iraq to establish the Federation Council as an ancillary to parliament, for “this body would include representatives of regions and provinces, and would therefore complement the House of Representatives, which represents the Iraqi people. The council’s powers are expected to include reviewing laws passed by parliament, in addition to other duties ascribed to it by the pertinent law.”

    Mushreq Abbas is a contributing writer for Al-Monitor’s Iraq Pulse. He has been managing editor of Al-Hayat’s Iraq bureau since 2005 and has written studies and articles on Iraqi crises for domestic and international publication.

    Kurdistan criticizing the new Shahristani's remarks: the palm of تهديداتك and leave the joint committees accomplish their tasks
    17-07-2013 | (Voice of Iraq)

    Twilight News

    Demanded the Kurdistan Alliance, Wednesday, Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs Hussain al-Shahristani to "desist" from his threats to foreign companies oil operating in the region and the accusations of the province oil smuggling, calling on him to make way for joint committees recently formed to accomplish its work, including the consensus on oil and gas law.

    The Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs Hussain al-Shahristani has said in press statements that the oil contracts concluded by the Kurdistan region with foreign companies are illegal and point the existence of cases of oil smuggling across the borders of the province.

    A spokesman for the pro-Tayeb bloc's "Twilight News", "Shahristani give a chance for talks to succeed, not to poison the atmosphere">

    He pointed out that the statements of al-Shahristani is not on time and on everyone to support the talks and not to resort to threats and accusations.

    And that the Iraqi people and Kurdish people "استبشروا the good" mutual visits by prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and Kurdistan Region Massoud Barzani, with a view to resolving the outstanding issues between the parties and through joint committees.

    The oil extracted from fields in the Kurdistan Region convey to world markets via a pipeline Kirkuk - Ceyhan, which is controlled by Baghdad to Turkey, but the Kurdish exports via that route stopped last year because of a dispute over oil payments.

    This dilemma between Baghdad and Erbil, a major obstacle in the plans developed by the two sides to develop oil fields discovered and other exploration during the next few years.

    Baghdad says it is the sole owner of the right in the management of the country's oil wealth through the conclusion of contracts and export crude, but the province of Kurdistan rejects it confirms that the Iraqi constitution allows him oil contracts.

    Kurdistan was able to attract giant companies to work in his fields, including Exxon Mobil, Chevron Americas, France's Total and Russia's Gazprom despite warnings from Baghdad.

    Saleh appearance: Iraq can be classified as credit through government bonds
    17/07/2013 12:00 AM

    Warned of the dangers of global non-existence
    Baghdad - Mostafa Hashemi

    The presence of a credit rating of any country in the world better than the non-existence because it gives the degree adopted by the countries of the world to assess the country's economy for the purpose of investment and economic activities and other business.

    And saw the financial and banking expert d. The appearance of Mohammed Saleh, it is possible a credit rating of the country through bonds sold in global markets because the presence of credit rating, though low, is better than no rating mainly because there is no rating confirms that the country is a threat to all countries in the world.

    And is rated the world's credit ladder classification consists of 4 grades are A, B, C and D as well as variables that represent signal + or - and Petkrarat different. Saleh said in a statement to the (morning) that he must begin Iraq is now negotiating for the purpose Ranked credit.

    And launched the first round of the Conference of Finance and Commerce in June of last year, the presence of the representative of the U.S. Department of Commerce Cameron F. Kerry, in addition to economic circles in Iraq, it was agreed during which Iraq to encourage investors to come to Iraq and classification of credit to be able to give credit for foreign investors, as well as importance of Iraq that goes on in this category in order to give guarantees in investment opportunities and confidence to recover their capital.

    The Fitch or Fitch classifies countries credit is an international institution recognized worldwide and is a subsidiary wholly owned by Hearst, which has in April 2012 to increase its stake in Fitch Group to 50 percent, which is one of three companies rated a major addition to Standard & Poor's and Moody's, the company has been founded by John Knowles Fitch in late 1913 in New York City as the Fitch Publishing, merged with IBCA Co., Ltd. is based in London in December 1997.

    Saleh pointed out that although the negotiations began last year, but the Chapter VII represented the main obstacle in failing to give him credit rating as the country poses a threat to international peace and security.

    He noted that Iraq is now out of Chapter VII of the UN Charter and moved to Chapter VI of it, which means it is now no longer poses a threat but on the contrary, he entered the phase of peace and development, noting that the credit rating not yet been determined, but - as I believe - in B-class and this is a good indicator

    He explained that the rating is through the public debt and the issuance of treasury transfers or government bonds, particularly in international markets, or those bonds that are sold outside of Iraq except for support and one Qaeidah Iraq in return for private-sector debt under the Paris Club agreement. Added when sold bonds then sold at about 60 cents, then rose discount of up to 90 cents, and in this case became as if Iraq automatically rated among the countries that have rated within Class B-giving Iraq a good indicator in the presence of Chapter VII.

    He stressed that Iraq would emerge from Chapter VII and the entry of foreign companies, in addition to the presence of high liquidity and political stability and the presence of the oil wealth, are all factors that will raise the credit rating of the degree of Iraq.
