American businessman Alan Douglas, to change its name to Shaker,
because "many of his love for the city of Basra," he says, or perhaps
the desire to attract peers from U.S. investors to maintain that
"fascinated", to the extent that he repeats "I am an American, but my
heart Basrawi" The heart of Douglas, or "Shaker", turning to optical
perhaps because of the nature preserve emotional dramatically, or
because they are "fertile ground" for the business world, asserts, and
adds with a sigh, "but routine and administrators strangle the economy
in the city and make investors fleeing from the first confrontation."
Says
Doclas, businessman who spent his $ 600 billion in the Iraq war, said
in an interview to the (long-Presse), "strange is this city that works
day and night to invite investors and businessmen to come to it and see
what opportunities of promising but at the same time deliberately to
make them flee from when the first confrontation with their security
services and customs and other relevant investment business, "he adds,"
currently live with my family in Basra, where Adair institute for
teaching English and I find myself fully consistent with the nature of
society and I feel like belonging to him and procedures are very complex
concerning Basma entry, residence and other Almarqlat investment that
threaten the draft and even being in the city. "
It is noteworthy
Doclas or (Shaker), "from here rushed to the hotel Basra International,
what I learned forum to American companies held the U.S. consulate in
Basra, on Sunday, at the Hall Hotel hope subtracting problems on
officials hoping perhaps to find them a solution," and surprised by "The
existence of such Almarqlat investment sector without waking her
administration of the province or central government, especially to
Basra have the skills to promote to attract business."
Shaker
calls, officials in Basra or Baghdad to "visit Dubai and other cities
seeking to attract investment for the services provided and facilities
make it a magnet for attention."
U.S. Consulate for its part,
seems they Thsst and there is a problem, so I proceeded to gather both
sides of the equation, the local government to confront companies, and
face-to-face to put their priorities and their problems and suggestions
and insights.
Says U.S. Consul in Basra, William كرانت, during a
press conference held in the wake of Forum gathering officials maintain
بالراغبين in investment, and attended (range Press), "I feel
responsibility towards work U.S. companies wishing to invest and
considered that the forum, which was attended by 20 companies U.S. is a
clear message investors to deliver voice for those involved in local
government, "and asserts that" Basra is the incubator for investment and
the Iraqi government to take action and the necessary facilities to
encourage investors to work without disturbances repulsive. "
He
continues كرانت, that "American companies complain of the difficulty of
obtaining investment opportunities and complexity of procedures for
Basma enter and stay," and hoped that "the local government and across
the central government had listened carefully to the nature of the
problems faced by men workers and investors in order to try to overcome
them."
In turn, did not deny the governor of Basra, Khalaf Abdul Samad, there are problems facing the investment even "hampered".
Says
Abdul Samad, in his speech to the (long-Presse), "The actions of the
Ministry of Interior tight and complex right investors for feature and
enter and stay in Basra," and asserts "there is coordination between his
office and the office of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, to resolve this
problem by facilitating such procedures ".
And calls the
governor of Basra, government departments to "clarify what information
you need and requirements related to the presence of foreign companies
in the province and the entry of investors and their material at border
crossing points in order to know the details of this and address the
country's ministries to solve the problems and overcome the red tape
that saps time, effort and money."
It is noteworthy that Basra
Investment Commission, confirmed more than once during the previous
years, it suffers from many of the constraints that are a real obstacle
to economic growth, and development of actually investment which aspire
to the body in line with the reality of maintaining economic and
geography and history, and the most important obstacles are in the
bureaucracy administrative institutions of the state and the difficulty
of access to the tracts of land to be presented as investment
opportunities, because of the dominance of the oil ministry on most of
the territory of Basra, in addition to the large number of squatters and
threatened to investors or extortion.
While accused Iraqi Prime
Minister Nuri al-Maliki, on the sidelines of laying the foundation stone
for the project city banks Karbala residential, and attended (range
Press), in (the 28 of February 2013), political parties disrupt
investment in the country in order to achieve personal interests and
partisan and sectarian, and stressed that the This disruption should
fall within the "treason against the homeland and the citizen", and
called for "the people" hold accountable those who "voltage يشتتون and
energies", as pointed out that foreign investors fear volatility might
get in Iraq, which delays the construction process.
The Iraqi
parliament had passed in (October 2006) the Iraqi investment law, who
was with him at the time he would open the doors to foreign investment,
for providing a lot of facilities to foreign investors, but many foreign
companies are still hesitant because of fears of fact unstable security
in Iraq, adding that the law did not give investors the right ownership
of the property for the project, and equated the Iraqi investors and
foreign in all privileges, except real estate ownership, as can a
foreign investor from leasing land for a period of (50) years, renewable
According to paragraph (11) of the Investment Law.
And investors
should be brought their projects to the National Commission for
Investment, or the Investment Commission of the region, or province, for
investment licenses, and can apply investment license to the "circle of
single window", developed by the National Investment Commission, and
conferred upon notification investor decision of the final through ( 45)
days, to eliminate administrative red tape in granting leave
investment.
Has embarked on the investment in the province of
Basra, its officially supported by the British government early October
2008, and thrown upon the body, diagnosis and secure investment
opportunities and the issuance of licenses to Iraqi and foreign
investors for projects in various sectors, that does not exceed the cost
of speculative each project a billion dollars, and not to be related to
the oil industry or the banking sector because the approval of projects
of this type is the jurisdiction of the General Secretariat of the
Council of Ministers.
The FDA issued since its founding more than
47 holiday, including 30 during the year 2012 the past, when she was
making the implementation of projects in different sectors including
housing, tourism, industry and agriculture by Iraqi and foreign
companies, and total cost for those projects that have not implemented
many of them so far more than 1,784,407,873 dollars.
And share
the province of Basra, where more than three million international
border with Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Iran, and where there is the
largest and most important oil fields in Iraq, in addition to a number
of large industrial plants, including iron and steel plants,
petrochemical and chemical fertilizers as well as being one of the areas
