Ambassador
Nutrition lowest levels .. political and problematic delay labs
Electricity 24/24: 4 new years of waiting

Ambasserottan newspaper wrote this address Ambassador says "ale situation. All sectors Anka corruption. But for the electricity sector is always «splendor» Special. I went all the plans that have been developed to reach the 24/24 - stage unheeded, and the worst that no new promises of progress, and hopes to live by the Lebanese, only local efforts taking place in more than one region out of the cocoon «EDL», toward similar independent solutions experience « Zahle electricity. »

The laboratory , which was supposed to ride or renewed, what remains the same. «Fatima Gul» and her cousin «Orhan Bai» Aatadta Lebanese sea and is Aatadahma, while the Lebanese people , condemning them to a quarter of the power supply (360 MW of the total 1300 MW per hour was the rate of production in the past week, according to Chairman of the Sub - Committee of the Committee on Energy parliamentary Mohammed Hajjar ).

Does this situation be improved?
All indications suggest that nutrition b «mainstream» can not rise more than two hours a day at best. Which means that the crisis will not end in the near future and that the Lebanese people will have to live with more darkness.

Estimated Lebanon 's need for electricity between 3000 and 3300 MW / h, while the production rate is currently up to 1600 watts (after the repair of breakdowns taste plant started production cut about 300 MW). This figure is expected to improve slightly after increasing the capacity of two ships other than the Turkish and the introduction of reverse generators carried out by the Danish company BWSC in laboratory taste, ghee, which can raise the feeding between 250 and 300 MW.

Although the Danish company completed its work, which has already been delayed for eight months because of domestic political pressure, but unlike them and the EDL has recently emerged on the background of the trial period and the process of developing the new units on the network, so this was a matter under discussion in the subcommittee parliamentary power , which devoted its yesterday, to follow what is going on in the laboratory of taste, ghee. However , the sources of the Ministry of Energy rejected the rumored dispute, noting that the delays with the preparation of technical and maintenance contract.
Every effort is currently focused on increasing MW from here or from there, but the final solution and effective crisis that has become old as the civil peace, needs a lot of patience, pending solve political differences first. These differences deprived the Lebanese from the completion of Deir Ammar plant, which was supposed to have arrived at the network since. Therefore , since the work has not started yet, as a result of the dispute between the ministries of energy and money, and behind them the «FPM» and «hope».

In taste, your place hovered for years. Rehabilitation process still has a long term. The company «Ansaldo Mdka» which was the only applicant to the auction has not started its work. There are two problems that hinder essential, first, tied to being the only company that submitted a tender. Second, regarding the financial offer by which more than $ 90 million from Consultative estimate ($ 170 million). Although they came back and reduced the amount to $ 220 million linked down the euro, but that did not end the crisis, which became requires Cabinet approval to sign the contract by mutual consent with it.

Recent Developments The EDL request of the company 's re - supply reduction, as a result of reducing the value of the works (during the four years of delay, the Foundation has made ​​some improvements, no longer «taste» in need of the business itself).

Sources say that even if the follow - up reduced the value of the offer, it will not solve the problem, since the existence of a single company means that the contract will be an agreement by mutual consent, and in the current political situation is unlikely that the Cabinet made ​​a decision this amount and by mutual consent.

However, the Sub - Committee of the Ministry of Energy and Electricity of Lebanon asked to return it within two months the outcome of the negotiation, noting that followers of file contend that the issue of rehabilitation has not been resolved definitively yet, pending the resolution of the final value to him and demonstrate its usefulness in comparison with the creation of a new plant.

The situation in Jiyeh on the disadvantages, it remains the best. After resolve the matter of the futility of the current rehabilitation of the plant, connectivity and cost of production, it launched a search for financier. And already yesterday 's announcement of the Arab Fund for approval to finance the plant with a production capacity of 600 MW, note that the nominal capacity of the plant of 250 MW, while its current production of no more than 80 MW and can be up to 120 MW, not counting the production of the Turkish ship. But the problem is that the plant is still in the preparation phase, where it is supposed to sign EDL contract with EDF (EDF) to familiarize the general guidelines charts and required amendments to the station , which take into account the construction of new plants in Lebanon, while the CDR signed a contract with them in order to conduct a study on the dismantling of the plant and determine his ability by estimating the transport network capacity.
According to the information available, it is expected that the CDR has completed awarding of the Jiyeh plant by the end of the current year file. Only then can you start calculating the period of hope for better nutrition trend. Note that if today announced a solution to the dispute over the Deir Ammar plant, and ended the confusion regarding laboratory taste, the Lebanese have to wait for not less than three or four years until they see electricity 24 to 24. However , according to previous experiences, and without taking into account the government 's deficit, no one doubts that the zero hour will be delayed, and that many pitfalls delay electric impossible dream. At this time, teetering sector is moving towards privatization of graded evidence that the South has become most towns and villages get electricity 24 to 24 of the local generators operated by municipalities, and here is the North awaits construction of the plant has taken on President Najib Mikati, and there are those who are preparing to launch similar projects in Mount Lebanon , the North and South ..
Day
Blowing cell debates about the "protections"
Gulf reservations facing Lebanon at the summit?

Newspaper Alnharotnaolt day internal affairs and she wrote "in Lebanon is facing a new accurate test with his participation in the Arab summit scheduled to be held in Nouakchott , capital of Mauritania Monday through reservation Arab and Gulf countries for the item" solidarity with Lebanon, "saw the Cabinet meeting yesterday a new chapter in tugging and harassment on the cell file that was added to the list of contentious files accumulated without any agreed that would end the cycle of deportation after another file.

In the "problems and Allahlol" session, as described by a number of ministers, the same dispute regarding the tender conditions book for the management of two cellular phone networks , which is transmitted from another session to left. Thus Communications Minister Boutros Harb continue to extend Deluxe months for my company "Alpha" and "MTC", to be conducted tender concessions, and continue to dispute the book of conditions hinders tender. This is what led to the explosion of debate between the minister of war on the one hand and Minister Gebran Bassil supported by Minister Hussein Hajj Hassan and Mohammed Fneish, Elias Bou Saab on the other hand, in the foregoing Culture Minister Ronnie Areiji project and compromise that the tender conducted in two phases and should be given marks on the number of years and the number of lines operated by the company that the bar. The minister of war and described the proposal Areiji as well, noting that it will take in the next unimaginable.

Reported that among the ministerial debate revolved around the conditions relating to discuss the management and operation of the cell book, and suggested the Minister of Communications infinite debate the issues raised and objections that were made ​​on the book of conditions approved by the Council of Ministers. He asked that restricts Search objections and not revisit the entire book of conditions. And opened in the area to view the objections were discussed. It was marked by acrimonious debate in some respects. Interceptor team , which included ministers and Basil Abu difficult and Fneish refused to set the terms of which are not company "Orascom". Was required to reduce the number of participants in the networks of 10 million each year to two million each year to the company "Orascom" able to enter the auction.
He said the Minister of Communications that the sector is heading to a sophisticated generation and the number of subscribers could exceed the current number is much besides going into the fourth and fifth generation , which requires the presence of companies with sufficient experience can be the development of the fourth generation and sector intervention in the fifth generation and meet the large numbers needs of subscribers exceeds the current number, and able to network management than 10 million subscribers and up. He stressed that if this number will be reduced He personally would not approve it. If required the introduction of a specific company and stuck team entered she has introduced an amendment in the book, sent to the Council of Ministers to admit the consortium Consortium or subsidiary Filiale condition that cooperates the Consortium companies that do not have the necessary technical capabilities with great artistic company be responsible for ensuring the proper implementation and development. In the case of the Filiale that the parent company undertakes with the proper implementation and development of the government. This makes it easier to enter all companies , including the company "Orascom" held by the opposing team. Knowing that the company "Orascom" is no longer manages any network in the world , but in Lebanon.

But the other team stood his ground and accused the minister of war that deliberately keep the company "Alpha" because the employees of the Aoun movement. Individual war sharply that he is trying to raise the level of services if it wants to apply a partisan policy was ruled a large number of party members of staff in the form of owners who are not linked by anything the Ministry of Communications. Interceptor team addressed the saying: "If you cling to such a degree giving Orascom cellular network management despite the lack of access to technical conditions required, Vliqrr Council of Ministers to give them this network without a tender if that's what you are doing."

Cabinet View postponed to a later session that puts unimaginable war after taking the observations and proposals presented by the Minister, which confirmed that it will take only as good ones, because some of the comments are for disabled and quibble and to protect the team and controlled company.

Put two ministers Mohammed Fneish and Hussein Hajj Hassan disaster Litani river pollution and split views about the causes. As he saw Agriculture Minister Akram Chehayeb that the solution is to close Sandboxes downstream, Interior Minister Nihat Hanged opposed this view and said that the problem is not limited to the closing Sandboxes, but starting from the spring down to the estuary, and pointed out that he had requested a study on the impact of Sandboxes. It was decided that the Cabinet will hold a special session of the Litani problem to solve, and formed a ministerial committee to study the file.

And eat the agreement in the oil file between Speaker Nabih Berri and Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil , saying that any deal must be done in the ministries concerned.

The news
«Pitcher Oil» extension of the cellular

News newspaper Alabarkme addressed domestic affairs , she wrote " The Story of the extension of the two companies Almchglten cell phone is almost similar to the story of « oil jug »in the Republic of « oil jugs »many. Apart from the tender to run the cellular networks are «privatization for privatization» without any economic sense, since the two networks owned by the State, which obliges operated and Syanthma and enlarged investment in them and the prices of minutes and packages ... but the tale dating back to April 2015, when it ended the contract signed between the two State group «Zain» Kuwait (for the management and operation of the network «Touch») and «Orascom Telecom» Egyptian (for the management and operation of the network «alpha»).

Day, the Cabinet decided the extension of the two companies Almchglten until the end of 2015, to be put on the operation of the two networks in a tender before the end of last year, and instructed the Minister of Communications notebook conditions to be put on the government setting. It accuses FPM war he put his sights exclude «Orascom» which he says is subject to political influence of the current, which was reported by the Minister of Communications publicly boards.

Was the beginning of an additional condition for the tender, stipulates that the company will be advanced to participate has managed, over five years, cellular networks comprising a minimum of 10 million subscribers. The war 's opponents say that the complexity of the conditions alienate large global companies that the value of the contract is not attractive to them, given his supporters that he wants to protect the tender of inefficient companies that manage small networks, and attract major companies to run networks.

After the adoption of the author of the Ministerial Committee of Ministers war and Mohammed Fneish, Gebran Bassil book of conditions, tender management had been notified of the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers of the Council 's decision on the procedure for tendering, without WordPad. And she received another letter from the Ministry of Communications asking them to launch a tender «based on the book of conditions attached». Then Tenders administration sent a letter to the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers, based on the book of the Ministry of Communications , which includes the book of conditions, to confirm that it is the same as that approved in the Cabinet. However , the administration did not get any official answer. To prove later that a change to enter two items and the response in the book of conditions, namely:
Imposed on the exhibitors to have a cumulative number of subscribers is equal to five million subscribers.
Have a bidding company sufficient experience in the field of communication networks of not less than 5 years.

In the book of conditions sent by the Ministry of Communications to ensure the management of tenders:
The companies have a joint crossbar 10 million over 5 years continuously.
To be the company 's crossbar experience of not less than 10 years.
Note that the first item automatically lead to the exclusion of «Orascom» tender.

Was excluded «Orascom» tender under the pretext of providing the required paperwork after office hours, what the company paid to resort to the State Consultative Council , which passed a resolution to their advantage to postpone the date of the unsealing to allow it to participate in the tender. But «Orascom» refrained from providing any tender offer , which did not make it to blow up the only two companies ( «Orange» French and «Zain») after seeing that she would be excluded. Since then, the war of the extension of the two companies began Almchglten month.
The government in yesterday 's session, the war he returned the book of new terms and conditions more easily allow allowing the expansion of the competition. But it is interesting that under these conditions, again, the same item about ten million subscribers.
