Parliamentary Finance: Implementing Al-Kazemi’s White Paper Is “Almost Impossible”
Political Tuesday 6 July 2021 | 01:46 PM| Number of readings: 151 A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Jamal Kougar, considered, on Tuesday, that the implementation of the white paper announced by Mustafa Al-Kazemi’s government, is “almost impossible” in light of the political parties’ control of state resources, as he put it .
Cougar said, "The white paper announced by the government earlier was based more on the theoretical side than the practical, and the evidence is that the 2021 budget law that came from the government before it was passed in Parliament was devoid of all its paragraphs from the articles of the paper ."
He added that "the government is talking today about the percentages of achievement related to the implementation of the White Paper. In fact, they are exaggerated rates," stressing that "the implementation of the White Paper is almost impossible due to the control and domination of some political parties over the state's resources ."
He explained, "If the government does not leave the control of these parties, the country will not witness an economic recovery. The country's life will not be achieved through the international community, because these parties control everything and work according to an external agenda that sometimes helps them even by standing against the development of the local product."

“OPEC +”: The Current Agreement On Oil Production Continues As It Is
Pratha News Agency127 2021-07-06 Informed sources in "OPEC +" said that the current agreement to produce oil is continuing, and that the signatory countries are committed to it.
The sources also indicated that the member states of the organization "will decide later on the date of the next meeting at the appropriate time."
And “Reuters” agency earlier quoted sources confirming that the “OPEC +” meeting, which was scheduled for today, Monday, has been postponed, while a new date has not yet been set amid a Saudi-Emirati dispute.
The row erupted last week when the UAE objected to a proposed extension of production curbs for an additional eight months.
Discussions focused on raising production as of next August, for reasons including curbing prices, which reached nearly the highest level in two and a half years, as Brent crude was traded at $76 a barrel on Monday.
The rise in oil has caused concerns about inflation that could derail the global recovery from the "Covid-19" pandemic.
The “OPEC +” group agreed to reduce production by about 10 million barrels per day from May 2020, to mitigate the impact of the pandemic, with plans to reduce them gradually, to end the cuts by the end of April 2022, as the reductions currently amount to about 5.8 million barrels per day.
Informed sources said, "The UAE agreed with Saudi Arabia last Friday and the rest of the group's members to increase production by about two million barrels per day from August to December 2021, but it refused to extend the remaining reductions until the end of 2022 instead of the end of April 2022."
