Said Khairallah Hassan said, "The Commerce Department is about to begin talks with the World Trade Organization to gain permanent membership in," noting that "the World Morocco appointed a representative for such talks with Iraq."

Hassan added that "the WTO 152 members always", pointing out that "Iraq is at present Honorary Member of the Organization so at his handling of trade with Member States to the Organization will be dealt with as one of the traders and not as a country with trade concessions," noting that "Neil Membership in the Organization would give Iraq the right to deal with members of the owners of the 152 strong economies on the basis of a unified, which is in the best interest of Baghdad in economic, commercial, agricultural and health.

BondLady discusses WTO article 5/23/11

Iraq is negotiating to become a full member in the World Trade Organization (WTO), the trade minister said today.

Erbil, May 22 (AKnews) – Iraq is negotiating to become a full member in the World Trade Organization (WTO), the trade minister said today.

Kheirullah Hasan told AKnews that the negotiations have been going on behind closed doors for a while running and will resume in Morocco soon.
Iraq is currently an honorary member in the WTO, which has 152 permanent members. At present the members treat Iraq solely as a business partner. If the country is granted permanent membership, it can interact with members in the four main fields of health, agriculture, trade and economy.
The minister said that no specific timescale has been laid out for the conclusion of the talks.
The WTO only allows countries who have opened up their economies through free-market reforms to become full members. Iraq has started to implement these kinds of changes, following decades of moving towards more a more state-centric economic model.

...... see i wanted to show this again even tho it came out yesterday...no 1 has said very much about it, imo this is a huge and telling piece....quote..Iraq is negotiating to become a full member in the World Trade Organization (WTO), the trade minister said today.

Kheirullah Hasan told AKnews that the negotiations have been going on behind closed doors for a while running and will resume in Morocco soon.
......see before we were seeing wto articles all the time then for weeks now..nothing....when it said this..the negotiations have been going on behind closed doors for a while.......see we know that the wto told iraq to build up its private sector, they praised them for there tarrifs, which havent been implemented yet, maybe a small amount but nothing at all like it should be, the wto helps import things at a lot cheaper value than what iraq has been paying for these products the wto also advises and has many high ups that help and advise world economys especially emerging economys such as iraq...the tarrifs is a must for this as these taxes will tax the imports comming into iraq and will suport the government thru its economy. iraq needs a new rate on there currency before they can inforce these taxes, the people couldnt pay taxes right now at the rate of 1170 millons of people are barely surviving now, tax them with out a new rate and u would see 30 millon people melt down imo. so when we see the wto is and has been working behind closed doors to bring iraq into the organization as a full member we know the new rate is comming.. and when we see that iraq has been accepted 1 of the huge reasons will be because the tarriff taxes have been emplimented and to do this we know there had to be a rv..also to join the wto imo your currency needs to be a heck of a lot better than 1170 to 1 usd...so be on the look out for iraq to be brought in as a full member to the wto because this will also signal imo a rv happened or will happen close to the same time of the announcement...all imo ..drops the mic and walks off...BondLady

ToddS picks up the mic and walks on the stage:

I am sorry but Iraq has been negotiating since 2004 to become a member of the WTO, and yes there is a tremendous difference between Iraq 2004 and Iraq 2011, but they are not even included on the WTO's 2011 calendar for consideration this year.......... 2012 and beyond is a different can of worms....... again go to the WTO's website and read what is required....find Iraq's status.....you can even look at the paper work Iraq is required to file for ascension it is all there in black and white........ Iraq will not become a member of the WTO anytime soon.
