Iraq won’t resume vital oil sales this year
NICOSIA (Cyprus). May 18: Iraq will not be able to resume vital oil sales this year because Its negotiations with the United Nations to ease sanctions are deadlocked, the Middle East Economic Survey (MEES) reported Monday, says AP.
"No resumption of Iraqi oil exports is to be expbeted under prevailing circumstances." the respected oil Industry newsletter said.
The deadlock between the two sides would seem to be complete.*
That could eliminate one problem when oil ministers of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries meet In Vienna on Wednesday to hammer out a new production agreement, for the July-September period.
However, MEES said Iraqi production — 3.2 million barrels a day before the 1990 gulf crisis — remains one of the wild cards In OPEC's supply picture. The others are Kuwait's accelerating output and the possibility of UN sanctions against Libya.
MEES cited a May 4 Interview with Deputy Premier Tariq Aziz broadcast by Turkish television, In which he rejected a one-time 1.6 billion dollar oil sale to buy food and medicine for Iraq's 17 million people, suffering severe hardships because of UN trade sanctions.
"With the conditions /hat the UN members want to impose, they are trying to turn Iraq into a colony," the weekly newsletter quoted Aziz as saying.
"We accept things being out in the open," Aziz said. "We have allowed them to control all aspects of oil sales and the goods we Import from other countries.’
But he said Iraq could not accept UN control of food distribution within Iraq.
"We're still an Independent and sovereign country. We're not slaves," he said, blaming the United States and Britain for trying to force that provision.
Iraqi Oil Minister Osama Abdul-RazZaq al-Hltl said Iraq could begin oil exports Immediately if the United Nations lifted sanctions Imposed after the August 1990 Invasion of Kuwait.
The 'Iraqi News Agency, monitored In Cyprus, said Hlt1 told the Baghdad parliament that Iraq could export 800.000 barrels a day through the offshore AJ-Bakr oil terminal on the northern Gulf.
He said another 1.18 million barrels a day could be piped northward through Turkey, although Aziz had ruled out that pipeline because It went through areas controlled by Kurdish rebels.
