Border ports .. reality and policies
05/5/2018 12:00 am [rtl]Abdul-Zahra Mohammed al-Hindawi The pace of talk about the reality of the border ports in Iraq is not declining at all, but is on the rise, with the continuing economic crisis and the existence of a chronic deficit in the budget, and that the proportion of this deficit, not because of the presence of additional resources, but as a result of the policy of austerity and pressure of government expenditures, Non-oil prices remain modest. Hence the talk about the reality of the border crossings and how to benefit from resources should be enormous commensurate with the volume of Iraqi imports, which reached in 2016, for example, to nearly (50) million dollars, while the revenues of border crossings in 2017 half a million dollars, up 27 percent For the revenues of 2016, after the formation of the border crossing authority. It is certain that the revenue of this modest level does not mean anything if we take into account the large number of our border ports, which amounted to 28 outlets, including 5 ports and 6 air ports, including Erbil and Sulaymaniyah and 17 land ports, including 8 outlets in the Kurdistan region and 9 outlets in the rest of the The country, and some of these nine outlets do not operate commercially such as Arar with Saudi Arabia, and there are those who talk about the presence of land outlets are not controlled, and this represents a major threat to the economy and the Iraqi consumer alike. In spite of the increase in the number of land ports, but when we look at the volume of imports through these ports, they are very few compared to the maritime counterpart, of the total of $ 50 billion, we find that the share of land ports does not exceed the 5 billion dollars in 2016, the air is the fastest Vtkad Its import contribution is zero. This may be due to the high cost of air transport and its licenses in the sea. But why is this decline in land transport while Iraq is associated with 6 neighboring countries with land ports, most of which are operational? I think that the problem behind the deterioration of the reality of imports through the land ports, and thus the small financial revenues, due to a variety of reasons, the forefront of which is the prevalence of old methods used in the work at these ports and not The entry of modern technologies to facilitate the procedures and the speed of completion of import transactions, and this requires serious stand on the completion of work there, especially after we have an independent body concerned with the file ports, and this body needs giant efforts to extend its influence on all our outlets. Such a task requires concerted efforts and contracting with solid companies to take the task of developing the reality of the ports away from the fingers of corruption, especially with companies willing to invest in this field without costing the government a penny, but on the contrary will provide an important financial resource. The other reason is the corruption cases. Even the head of the Ports Authority and through press statements have complained about the dominance of some non-governmental organizations on a number of outlets, and therefore the spread of corruption would be a reason for not achieving real resources by the border crossings. The third reason is the lack of governmental control over a number of border ports, primarily the ports located in the Kurdistan region, which represents about 48 percent of the total ports in Iraq, the addition of outlets in other areas is not controlled, and through these outlets are targeting the Iraqi economy from During the policy of dumping goods, so much so that the Ministry of Agriculture when it took a decision to prevent the import of tomatoes, for example because of the abundance of local product, the authorities can not prevent the imported tomatoes from neighboring countries, we find them fill the markets and Iraqi farms are forced to sell the tomato at low price or may damage. There is a fourth reason behind the decline in the revenues of land ports, due to the poor roads linking them to the centers of cities, and here we need to put these methods to investment in order to develop and qualify to be attractive to carriers. On this basis, the Iraqi economy remains in the concerned state unless we can adjust the border crossing points like the rest of the world they represent the sovereignty of the country first, and the gate to protect the local product and support the national economy, if we entered into a border port ground to neighboring countries , we'll find advanced by about remarkable works according to Integrated mechanisms never allow corruption, so why not like them? A question answered is not difficult at all.[/rtl] [rtl][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] [/rtl] |
