The text of Fouad Hussein's message regarding the decision to include Iraq is a list of high-risk countries 800_5e11a167e97bb-341x341








The inclusion of Iraq in the list of high-risk countries regarding money laundering and terrorist financing, which was taken by the European Commission, has raised the country's authorities' concerns regarding the serious negative impacts that this will entail, which has prompted it to act in an attempt to raise the name of Iraq from the list.

The European Commission included Iraq with other countries, including Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and others, in the blacklist of countries that pose financial risks to the European Union, due to the indicators of the existence of money laundering and terrorist financing, considering that it has become a threat to the financial system of the Union.

The inclusion of Iraq in the list has very serious consequences, as an Iraqi government official assured Al-Jadeed Al-Jadeed that among those consequences would be the imposition of restrictions that are still unknown in their type or severity and their impact on financial transfers to and from Iraq, which will be reflected negatively. On investment and the work of investors in the country. ”

The Iraqi official added that "there is strict control that will be imposed as a result of this on the financial transfers to Iraq, which will necessitate great scrutiny, and to demonstrate the legitimacy of those funds and their sources, and the aspects of their spending, and this will all impede the financial entry to Iraq, and that the cost of transfer and credit will double, and this will negatively affect Iraq will exacerbate its financial crisis. ”

According to a spokesman for the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, Ahmed Al-Sahaf, the minister called on the foreign ministers of European countries to reject the decision, stressing, in a statement, that “the minister assured his counterparts in the letter that Iraq has implemented important laws and procedures over the years aimed at combating money laundering and financing Terrorism, and mitigating the risks associated with it.

He added that he stressed that "not rejecting the decision will have a significant economic and social impact on Iraq, and will affect cooperation with the member states of the European Union in accordance with the partnership and cooperation agreement between them."

To that, the Office of Combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing in Iraq considered today, Thursday, that the reason for Iraq’s inclusion in the European Union’s list of high-risk countries in this regard is due to the “security situation”.

The office linked to the Iraqi government said that "efforts to remove the name of Iraq from the European list of high-risk countries are still ongoing since the issuance of that list for the first time in 2016, and noted that" the continued inclusion of Iraq in the European Union list was not due to the indication of a deficiency in the Iraq file It was under the pretext of the security situation in Iraq.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein sent a message to European foreign ministers, asking them to reject the Commission’s decision so that Iraq can get rid of those consequences
Former Iraqi Member of Parliament Majed Shankali warned against the consequences of Iraq not taking urgent steps to remove it from the list and address the files of money laundering and terrorist financing, stressing to the "new Arab" that "the inclusion of Iraq among these countries has a great risk, as it will entail a lot of Commitments to get out of this list again, "noting that" trying to get out of the list is very important at this stage, especially in light of what Iraq suffers from a financial and economic crisis. "

He stressed that "the Central Bank of Iraq is required to take a lot of measures in relation to money laundering, money laundering and terrorist financing, as European reports depend on a lot of criteria that may be difficult for Iraq to adhere to, but they are necessary," noting that "the list will deprive Iraq of many One of the advantages enjoyed by financial and banking transactions, and will negatively affect Iraq if there are no urgent measures that cause his name to be removed from that list.

He added that "even if the name of Iraq is removed from the list, there will be severe monitoring of it during a period of 3 or 6 months, and if it does not implement its obligations, it will be returned back to the list, which requires the government and the competent authorities to take strict measures to end that danger."

Iraqi officials blamed the government for the serious corruption that Iraq has reached, demanding remedies and solutions.

The deputy of the Alliance of Forces, Raad Al-Dahlaki, stressed that "the results of this will be harsh for Iraq, so the foreign minister should search for the reasons for Iraq reaching this dangerous stage."



Al-Dahlaki told Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that political mismanagement caused all of this to Iraq, and that the lack of deterrence for those outside the law and the lack of control over relations with neighboring countries, especially Iran, made Iraq a country for money laundering and terrorist financing, stressing:

 “We need To strict political measures, and we demand the international community not to punish the Iraqis by the daring of those who follow to external bodies and work with other agendas. ”

He pointed out that "European countries follow facts and evidence in determining this, and that if we do not put an end to that situation that we have reached, the results will be dangerous for the country."

As for the member of the Foreign Relations Committee in the Iraqi parliament, Representative Amer Al-Fayez, he considered that Iraq’s attempt to get out of that list “indicates that the Iraqi government and the foreign minister are standing against international activity in order to expose workers in money laundering, which is not correct.”

Al-Fayez stressed that "Iraq is supposed to work to address this defect identified by the report, and that it seeks to end the files of money laundering and terrorist financing, and that the government is not able to investigate and address the files, and it must use the international effort for that, not to mediate to reject the report." He stressed, "The file cannot be covered, and the government must be aware of the risks."

The text of Fouad Hussein's message regarding the decision to include Iraq is a list of high-risk countries 692a03e39-35046-202007101205








Baghdad - people 

 

The expert in the field of anti-corruption identified the reasons for Iraq to remain on the list of high-risk countries regarding money laundering and terrorist financing.

  

The expert Saeed Yassin Moussa said in a statement followed by "NAS" (July 10, 2020), "The central bank obtained an index from the European Union three years ago confirming the existence of a decline in Iraq's commitment to combat smuggling and money laundering," asking, "Where do these funds go?" Who is the beneficiary of it? "

  

Moussa reviewed the most important indicators set by the European Union Commission on financial policy in Iraq in the area of ​​smuggling and money laundering abroad, which keep the door open to all possibilities, indicating that these indicators confirm the presence of lost money, no one knows where to go, and there is tax evasion. 

 

Moussa added that "Iraq imports annually (multi-purpose goods, most of which are consumable) at about (60) billion dollars from abroad," noting that "most of the countries that are imported from Turkey are about (19) billion dollars, and Iran (18) billion dollars annually , As well as South Korea, China, Jordan, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia. "  



He stated by saying, "When these amounts are compared with the goods entering Iraq, it was found that they (imported goods) are not worth the money sent." He pointed out that "there are indications with the Iraqi government and regulatory authorities that there is tax evasion, and the customs evade by changing the gender of the goods and forging some The documents, in terms of quality, quality, and import license, all of which are considered to be money smuggling.

  

He pointed out that "one of the indicators set by the European Commission on Iraq is that land ports constitute 80% of goods entry and 20% of goods enter through ports, in addition to a business environment that is free from competition between companies (government investment contracts do not have transparency and fair competition Between companies)". 

 

He added that "among other indicators is that investment companies are not protected, as they are subjected to blackmail (multi-faceted) by local communities (taking royalties from companies) and armed or administrative or political blackmail (obtaining some benefits and percentages)", noting that "this This kind of blackmail gives an image that Iraq is an insecure environment for the movement of capital, production and contracts. " 

 

He also explained, "The human rights environment is also an indication of the risks restricted by the European Commission, which is the outbreak of demonstrations that confirm the underdevelopment of the business and services sector, which led to the existence of popular demands that met with death," noting that "the failure to provide the perpetrators (the killers of the demonstrators does not provide A safe environment for freedom of opinion and expression and the claim of rights, so how if it is a foreign company? 

 

And, "There is a significant retreat in the rule of law, especially when state institutions are not fully in control to protect the security of citizens and part of it is the restriction of arms in the hands of the state," stressing that "Iraq has dealt with the European Union and NATO on self-assessment and analysis of the security sector environment, defense and armament" .  



He also said, "The reason for the decline in security and defense is due in large part to the import of arms, contracts and quality, and these are all indicators developed by the European Union Commission before Iraq was included in the list of countries that pose financial risks, due to a deficiency in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing." 

 

The inclusion of Iraq in the European list leads to the possibility of imposing more restrictions on financial transfers to and from Iraq, which makes it difficult for Iraqi and European investors to work in the country that is already suffering from a severe financial crisis.

Muhammad Sharif Abu Maysam
 

The recent decision of the European Union Commission regarding the continuation of keeping Iraq on the list of high-risk countries regarding money laundering and terrorist financing, contrary to all the transformations that led to the exit of Iraq from the list of countries subject to monitoring and follow-up by the International Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in July 2018. 


After the legislation of the Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Law No. 39 of 2015, Iraq was able to achieve significant progress in the applications of fighting this phenomenon through a series of decisions and procedures aimed at reaching the level of requirements that are consistent with international standards to combat this phenomenon, and among the most important of them, was to take a decision on the independence of the Anti-Laundering Office Funds within the Central in the year 2016.


 And contracting with international companies to train on modern operations in this area. At a time when the governor of the Central Bank confirmed during his meeting with representatives of government and private banks, at the end of May 2016.

The text of Fouad Hussein's message regarding the decision to include Iraq is a list of high-risk countries Empty Iraq is blacklisted by the European Union

[size=35]Iraq is blacklisted by the European Union[/size]


A big problem, such as the accusation of money laundering, cannot be faced with appeals from the State Department.

Saturday 07/18 2020








The text of Fouad Hussein's message regarding the decision to include Iraq is a list of high-risk countries Money






[size=20]The Central Bank of Iraq is silent and we have not heard of any comment


 The file must be dealt with in a professional manner before Iraq requests that its name be removed from the list

 Imposing restrictions on money transfers to and from Iraq, which hinders the flow of funds necessary for investment
















No soft loans from the International Monetary Fund, monitoring all financial transfers to and from Iraq, low investment companies ’business to expose them to extortion.




These are the most prominent "gains" of Iraq, after being placed by the European Union on the list of high-risk countries in money laundering and terrorist financing! How can Iraq get out of this list?




Let's start from the first story.




We say ... the situation in Iraq has become threatened with economic collapse after being placed by the European Union on the list of countries that lack international standards to prevent money laundering and combat the financing of terrorism.




This is not new to Iraq, as the European Union previously put Iraq on this list since 2016, and the European Union has tried to help Iraq out of this list after the Union helped in 2018 lift the sanctions that were imposed on it. Instead of Iraq benefiting from this positive step to improve its image and economic situation in front of the world, it has gone into projects tainted by corruption in addition to the continuation of the currency auction, which the European Union considers a broad window for money laundering, so the European Union renewed Iraq’s fixation in this list within its latest version in July 2020.




It is true that Iraq moved diplomatically in the recent period to remove its name from this list, when the Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein called his German counterpart Haikou Maas, who will head the European Union this week, asking him to make efforts to remove Iraq from the list of high-risk countries in money laundering and terrorist financing.




But ... such important issues cannot be solved by phone call, as happens in Iraq when a criminal is released by phone call, or when someone is assigned to an important location by phone call as well, since this file must be dealt with in a professional manner, there are specific requirements And fixed standards for Iraq to adhere to before it requests the competent authorities to remove its name from this list.




But a lord of questioner says what does it mean to place Iraq on this list. We say that this does not only mean placing restrictions and monitoring financial transfers to and from Iraq, but the matter also relates to the difficulty of obtaining financial grants and soft loans from the International Monetary Fund, at a time when Iraq is in great need For such loans to pay the salaries of his employees is nothing but.




It is true that the foreign and finance ministries moved "a little"To end this file, except that specialists confirm that this file can be resolved through the Central Bank of Iraq, which has remained silent about this file and we have not heard any comment from it, especially since the European Union considers the Central Bank not to adhere to professional standards in dealing with the currency auction that allows money laundering Significantly, as the European Union knows very well that Iraq imports annually about $ 60 billion worth of goods, and knows that the volume of import from Turkey is about $ 19 billion, and from Iran it is about $ 18 billion and much less is imported by China, Jordan, the Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, so The European Union asks about the rest of the sums that go out of Iraq under the pretext of import, but they disappear in Arab and foreign banks without entering any imported goods, which is considered an indication of money laundering, especially since the Lebanese financial crisis revealed the existence of billions of dollars resulting from the sale of oil. Kurdistan region in the Lebanese banks without knowing itThe federal government in Baghdad!




Putting Iraq on this list will reduce many investment opportunities, especially as investment companies are subjected to multifaceted blackmail by militias that take royalties from companies that the European Union considers unprotected as a result of this blackmail.




It can also be said that the position of the European Union in Iraq on this list is not a punishment as much as it is imposing restrictions on financial transfers to and from Iraq, which will disrupt the flow of funds necessary to develop investment within the country! As per the laws of the European Union, banks, other financial companies and tax companies are obligated to have more careful scrutiny towards their customers who have dealings with the countries on the list, and as a result of Iraq’s inclusion in the list, banks and other entities covered by the European Union’s anti-money laundering rules will have to apply Increased checks on financial operations that include customers and financial institutions from these “high-risk” countries in order to identify any “suspicious” financial flows.




Placing Iraq on this list will seriously damage its financial and political reputation, as it will affect its current credit rating from B- to C- or C + or other lower ratings and this will entail significant costs, as it will be difficult for Iraq to obtain credit or international loans or From international institutions granting concessional terms.




Also, according to this European decision, the conditions will be harsh for the loan requested by Iraq and approved by Parliament from international institutions, and it is expected that the interest rates and guarantees required will increase and the grace period for repayment will decrease, and it will be difficult for Iraq to schedule its debts. All of these matters will result from a lowering of the credit rating.




We say that the Iraqi Foreign Minister’s appeals to his German counterpart to make efforts and remove Iraq from this list will not help, as the European Union has for years been Iraq is the largest country that laundered money abroad, and money laundering operations that have been carried out during the past years can be estimated between 250 to 350 billion Almost dollars, and this rounding in numbers is due to the lack of information or transparency.




Iraq must take effective and positive steps if it wants to get out of this list. First, it must take effective measures towards combating the money laundering and terrorist financing process and demonstrate its restriction to the militias they are talking about and neutralize its activity, as the Foreign Ministry’s “objections” will not produce a result, unless The currency auction, which is the largest window for smuggling and money laundering, stops.




And if Iraq wants to get out of this list, we can say that there are specific requirements and fixed standards, which Iraq is required to abide by to get it out of this list, there are periodic legal issues by the European Union that clarify these standards and requirements and this matter requires Iraq to allocate professional and specialized people to follow This matter and communication with the legal and financial authorities in the European Union and their dialogue in detail to identify these requirements and raise Iraqi standards in the financial and legal aspects in order for Iraq to come out of this list.




Prior to that, and as a gesture of goodwill on Iraq, stopping the currency auction and neutralizing the work of the militias that threaten and blackmail investors, and work in all transparency with its financial dealings with the countries of the world. Thus, only Iraq can get out of this list. Will Iraq be able to do that?
