Syria fails to buy fuel in barter tenders

LONDON: Syria has failed so far to side-step sanctions on its oil exports by bartering crude oil for fuels as its tender attracted no participants, traders said.
The tender was issued last week, traders said, as Syria desperately needs fuels to keep the country on its feet.
Although the European Union has stopped short of banning the sale of fuel to Syria for humanitarian reasons, companies are refusing to participate in tenders because it has become near-impossible to deliver and receive payment for fuel through international banks.
"I cannot see the tender being awarded. It will be very, very tough. The same EU sanctions that are preventing crude sales will affect this tender. Shipping will be an issue as well," a trader who used to deal with Syrian oil said.
"Nobody can participate, I guess," said a second trader, who used to deal with Syrian products before social unrest in Syria.
Syria's oil exports have come to a standstill in September due to sanctions and this may force a cut in production, weakening President Bashar Assad's ability to generate cash amid a bloody crackdown on protesters.
Both Syrian light and heavier Souedie crude are on offer in exchange for the oil products required to run Syria's oil-fired power plants, keep its economy afloat and prevent widespread disruption to civilian life.
Syria needs to import gasoline, gasoil and diesel because the combined 240,000 barrel per day capacity of its two state-run refineries is unable to meet demand.
A tender has been issued for two cargoes of gasoil for delivery in October.

Head of the Lebanese Industrialists Association Ni'mat Ephrem "The decision to ban the import will affect Lebanese industrial exports were valued at about $ 300 million and, therefore, this magnitude of losses will shake the industrial sector, and affects the whole sector, directly and indirectly."
And quoted by news of the Lebanese, "Ephraim" as saying that the three industries which will see a stop to actually exports by the Syrian decision is the food industries and electromechanical industries and soil and others, and if the continuation of the Syrian decision without the repeal or amendment, it would threaten about 10 thousand workers in the sector in a manner indirectly.
And the paper said, "began the implications of the decision to ban import of negative loom on Lebanon, particularly at institutions that rely heavily on its exports to Syria, which is concentrated in the fields of foodstuffs, electromechanical and soil.
And signed "Ephraim" that affects the Syrian decision to halt imports negatively on the Lebanese industry, although its effects do not appear to now because it has been out since about 4 days.
"The impact would be severe on some plants because it coincides with other problems in exporting to Iraq, as well as barriers related to standards and high costs of shipping."
The "Ephraim," that 5% of the volume of industrial exports Lebanese go to Syria, and if it is not reverse the decision or modify it, will become a percentage of exports to Syria is zero, and this would leave the implications of severe negative impact on the industrial sector, and could lead to the closure of number of factories in Lebanon, particularly the plants that depend primarily on the export to Syria.
He pointed out that he was surprised that the Syrian move, there is an agreement for the Lebanese-Syrian and the Convention to facilitate the Arab trade. And called for Avram to walk in the treatment of bilateral agreements between Lebanon and Syria to this matter.
And stressed that the Syrian decision is not directed against Lebanon, as it prohibits the import of all States, a decision that economic and not political, and therefore must be addressed through bilateral contacts between the two countries, since the topic has become in the hands of President Michel Suleiman, as well as Minister of Industry Freij Sabounjian.
And As for the impact of this decision to increase smuggling between the two countries, sees "Avram" that can never be sure in this subject, so that no one will know how to put border control between the two countries, and especially that the decision will put pressure on the Syrian consumer.
The industry is a loss, survived the agricultural sector of the Syrian decision, and explains the president of the Lebanese farmers, "Antoine Huwaik" that Syrian customs declined to enter Lebanese trucks to its territory, with the exception of bananas to the fact that the customs duty on import of less than 5%, while all the Lebanese agricultural exports were suspended, and declined to Syrian customs as well as to give permits to the owners of agricultural trucks, but the situation was different today with the decision of the exception, the Syrian targeted some agricultural products from all countries, including Lebanon.
And "al-Akhbar" reported sources in the Lebanese and Syrian customs, that the climate returned to normal at the border, and that the Lebanese trucks loaded with agricultural products are excluded from the decision to ban the import of Syria.
They noted that the number of trucks loaded with a few industrial products, since the majority of Lebanese exports to Syria are of vegetables and fruit.

Head of the Lebanese Industrialists Association Ni'mat Ephrem "The decision to ban the import will affect Lebanese industrial exports were valued at about $ 300 million and, therefore, this magnitude of losses will shake the industrial sector, and affects the whole sector, directly and indirectly."
And quoted by news of the Lebanese, "Ephraim" as saying that the three industries which will see a stop to actually exports by the Syrian decision is the food industries and electromechanical industries and soil and others, and if the continuation of the Syrian decision without the repeal or amendment, it would threaten about 10 thousand workers in the sector in a manner indirectly.
And the paper said, "began the implications of the decision to ban import of negative loom on Lebanon, particularly at institutions that rely heavily on its exports to Syria, which is concentrated in the fields of foodstuffs, electromechanical and soil.
And signed "Ephraim" that affects the Syrian decision to halt imports negatively on the Lebanese industry, although its effects do not appear to now because it has been out since about 4 days.
"The impact would be severe on some plants because it coincides with other problems in exporting to Iraq, as well as barriers related to standards and high costs of shipping."
The "Ephraim," that 5% of the volume of industrial exports Lebanese go to Syria, and if it is not reverse the decision or modify it, will become a percentage of exports to Syria is zero, and this would leave the implications of severe negative impact on the industrial sector, and could lead to the closure of number of factories in Lebanon, particularly the plants that depend primarily on the export to Syria.
He pointed out that he was surprised that the Syrian move, there is an agreement for the Lebanese-Syrian and the Convention to facilitate the Arab trade. And called for Avram to walk in the treatment of bilateral agreements between Lebanon and Syria to this matter.
And stressed that the Syrian decision is not directed against Lebanon, as it prohibits the import of all States, a decision that economic and not political, and therefore must be addressed through bilateral contacts between the two countries, since the topic has become in the hands of President Michel Suleiman, as well as Minister of Industry Freij Sabounjian.
And As for the impact of this decision to increase smuggling between the two countries, sees "Avram" that can never be sure in this subject, so that no one will know how to put border control between the two countries, and especially that the decision will put pressure on the Syrian consumer.
The industry is a loss, survived the agricultural sector of the Syrian decision, and explains the president of the Lebanese farmers, "Antoine Huwaik" that Syrian customs declined to enter Lebanese trucks to its territory, with the exception of bananas to the fact that the customs duty on import of less than 5%, while all the Lebanese agricultural exports were suspended, and declined to Syrian customs as well as to give permits to the owners of agricultural trucks, but the situation was different today with the decision of the exception, the Syrian targeted some agricultural products from all countries, including Lebanon.
And "al-Akhbar" reported sources in the Lebanese and Syrian customs, that the climate returned to normal at the border, and that the Lebanese trucks loaded with agricultural products are excluded from the decision to ban the import of Syria.
They noted that the number of trucks loaded with a few industrial products, since the majority of Lebanese exports to Syria are of vegetables and fruit.

White House National Security Advisor Tom Donilon thanked Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah and the Gulf Cooperation Council for their opposition to violence in Syria "perpetrated by the Assad regime" during a visit to Saudi Arabia today, according to a White House statement.
During a one-day visit to Riyadh, Donilon "commended" King Abdullah for his call for "an end to violence against civilians" led by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime, White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a statement.
Assad's oppression has left more than 3,600 civilians dead since the protests began in March, according to Ammar Qurabi of the National Organization for Human Rights in Syria. About 30,000 people have been detained and 13,000 are still being held, Qurabi said. About 700 members of the state security forces have been killed in the uprising.
American Ambassador Robert Ford, a critic of Assad, escaped an attack by a mob in Damascus two days ago.
Italian Journalist: Washington Encourages Violence in Syria

Oct 01, 2011 Read original in Italian, cache
ROME, (SANA)_ Alessia Lai, an Italian Journalist, voiced astonishment over the recent statements by the U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner as not to be surprised by the ''fact that the opposition uses violence against the Syrian military''.
Lai wrote in her article, published yesterday by the Italian Rinascita Daily, that ''In Washington, they think they can say and do. To be able to ingest the internal affairs of countries that do not correspond to their idea - distorted - of "democracy." They climb into the chair and justify violence when necessary to achieve their goals, inventing, instead, if it is useful in justifying international condemnation.''
''The premise could be applied to each of the countries that in recent years, was bombed by the coalition of the willing led by the United States, The last in order of time is Libya, and the same technique is now being applied to Syria,'' added Lai.
''Such a statement, made by any official of any country "unaligned", would have sparked international outrage, would have been considered an incitement to violence. Even worse if it had been made on the same day that the armed groups killed 80 men in military, civilian and intelligence agents.''
The distinguished Italian journalist noted that western media fail to ''report the fact that weapons entering Syria illegally through the border with Iraq - which is likely to benefit groups of fundamentalists who want to transform the Syrian Republic into emirate - are American weapons,''
Lai cited some names of the Syrian intellectuals and officers killed by these weapons last week including Hassan Eid Sunday, surgeon of the hospital of Homs; Monday Aqil Mohammad Ali, a professor at the Faculty of Architecture of the Baath, and Nael General Dakhil, Director of the Military School of petrochemicals; Wednesday morning Aous Abdel Karim Khalil , a nuclear engineer and teacher at the University Al-Baath.
Lai added that the western media do not even talk about the U.S. funding - unveiled a few weeks ago by the cables made available by Wikileaks - the anti-government activities in Syria and elsewhere.
''Faced with such and such dis-information, and the protests of the population of Damascus yesterday against the aggression of the U.S. Ambassador Ford become "faithful regime "against the diplomat, who had gone to visit a Syrian lawyer, member of the opposition (who obviously - because it was in his office - is a free citizen and has not been locked up in prison or tortured or assaulted by the" police regime,'' Lai wrote.
''During the summer the Ambassador Ford had already made the protagonist, along with the French, at least a gesture of provocation: a visit to the city of Hama to express U.S. support to those manifested in those days against the government. Hama was then hit by gangs which have attacked hospitals, barracks, houses, causing dozens of casualties. In Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain, Yemen, U.S. diplomats have carefully refrained from attending the riots in the streets, bringing their support to the protesters really affected by the repression,'' Lai underscored.
In response to the U.S. provocation, the Syrian Foreign Ministry has issued a statement in which it stated that "The statements of American leaders are striking evidence of the fact that the U.S. encourage armed groups to use violence against the Syrian Arab army, "and that" the allegations of the State Department spokesman Mark Toner, who called these natural acts of terrorism, are irresponsible and are intended to serve foreign interests opposed to those of the Syrian people.'' Alessia Lai concluded.

Poor turnout in last all-male Saudi polls
http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5gzTqV0_4tTmjnKmpXDNgh340qCQA?docId=CNG.21683a828449f21039c34f41afe003f8.51

2011.09.29
By Assad Abboud (AFP) – 1 day ago
RIYADH — Saudi men were voting in municipal elections on Thursday, with a poor turnout in the last all-male polls in the kingdom after King Abdullah this week gave women the right to participate in four years' time.
Some 5,324 candidates are competing for 1,056 seats -- in only the second elections in Saudi Arabian history -- to fill half the seats in the country's 285 councils. The other half are appointed by the government.
The first elections in the Gulf kingdom, which has a population of around 27.5 million, including around 19 million Saudis, were held in 2005, but the government extended the existing council's term for two years.
Around 1.2 million male voters have registered to take part.
But the polls appeared to attract little interest on the first day of the Saudi weekend on Thursday and Friday.
Just a few voters had shown up before midday at a polling station in Al-Olaya neighbourhood in central Riyadh, an AFP correspondent reported.
"The movement is slow before noon. People are still asleep because it is a day off," said candidate Abdulwahab al-Maliki.
At another voting centre at Al-Farazdaq primary school election supervisors waited for voters, but very few turned up.
"I am confused. I don't who I should vote for. Candidates have used Facebook to communicate with us. I prefer direct contact," lamented Mohammed Abdullah, saying: "I don't think I will give my vote to any of them."
Voting was also slow in the country's economic capital, the port city of Jeddah on the west coast.
"I voted for a colleague of mine," said retired teacher Ibrahim Ghazi, adding that he "didn't check any of the manifestos of the candidates and didn't know other names."
The results of the vote are expected on Sunday.
Thursday's polling comes just four days after absolute monarch King Abdullah granted women the right to vote and run in the next municipal elections in four years, a historic first for the ultra-conservative country.
Women's rights activists had long fought for the right to vote in Saudi Arabia, which applies a strict version of Sunni Islam and bars women from driving or travelling without the consent of a male guardian.
In addition to women participating in the only public polls in the country, King Abdullah also announced he had decided to admit women to the Shura Council, an all-appointed consultative body.
Saudi Arabia does not have an elected parliament.
The monarch's move was hailed by the United States and Britain, with both calling it a significant "step forward."
But the moves were also seen by some as insufficient.
Hussein Sharif, head of the human rights association in the western city of Mecca, said: "Women still have a long way to go" to gain their rights.
And Fahad Al-Harithi, head of Asbar Centre for Studies, Research and Communications, said: "The road for women to gain their rights is still too long. She is still marginalised... in terms of her rights and duties."
Advocacy group Human Rights Watch also welcomed the king's decision but said it came too late.
"King Abdullah's promise that women will finally be allowed to vote is a welcome move away from the discrimination and exclusion that Saudi women have suffered for so long," said Sarah Leah Whitson, HRW's Middle East director.
"Sadly, King Abdullah's promise of reform in 2015 doesn't come soon enough for women to vote in upcoming municipal elections," Whitson said of Thursday's vote.
Amnesty International cautiously welcomed the decision but said the kingdom was moving much too slowly on women's rights.
"It is a welcome, albeit limited, step along the long road towards gender equality in Saudi Arabia," said Philip Luther, Amnesty's deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa.
"It is, however, much overdue and does not go nearly far enough."

By Assad Abboud (AFP) – 1 day ago
RIYADH — Saudi men were voting in municipal elections on Thursday, with a poor turnout in the last all-male polls in the kingdom after King Abdullah this week gave women the right to participate in four years' time.
Some 5,324 candidates are competing for 1,056 seats -- in only the second elections in Saudi Arabian history -- to fill half the seats in the country's 285 councils. The other half are appointed by the government.
The first elections in the Gulf kingdom, which has a population of around 27.5 million, including around 19 million Saudis, were held in 2005, but the government extended the existing council's term for two years.
Around 1.2 million male voters have registered to take part.
But the polls appeared to attract little interest on the first day of the Saudi weekend on Thursday and Friday.
Just a few voters had shown up before midday at a polling station in Al-Olaya neighbourhood in central Riyadh, an AFP correspondent reported.
"The movement is slow before noon. People are still asleep because it is a day off," said candidate Abdulwahab al-Maliki.
At another voting centre at Al-Farazdaq primary school election supervisors waited for voters, but very few turned up.
"I am confused. I don't who I should vote for. Candidates have used Facebook to communicate with us. I prefer direct contact," lamented Mohammed Abdullah, saying: "I don't think I will give my vote to any of them."
Voting was also slow in the country's economic capital, the port city of Jeddah on the west coast.
"I voted for a colleague of mine," said retired teacher Ibrahim Ghazi, adding that he "didn't check any of the manifestos of the candidates and didn't know other names."
The results of the vote are expected on Sunday.
Thursday's polling comes just four days after absolute monarch King Abdullah granted women the right to vote and run in the next municipal elections in four years, a historic first for the ultra-conservative country.
Women's rights activists had long fought for the right to vote in Saudi Arabia, which applies a strict version of Sunni Islam and bars women from driving or travelling without the consent of a male guardian.
In addition to women participating in the only public polls in the country, King Abdullah also announced he had decided to admit women to the Shura Council, an all-appointed consultative body.
Saudi Arabia does not have an elected parliament.
The monarch's move was hailed by the United States and Britain, with both calling it a significant "step forward."
But the moves were also seen by some as insufficient.
Hussein Sharif, head of the human rights association in the western city of Mecca, said: "Women still have a long way to go" to gain their rights.
And Fahad Al-Harithi, head of Asbar Centre for Studies, Research and Communications, said: "The road for women to gain their rights is still too long. She is still marginalised... in terms of her rights and duties."
Advocacy group Human Rights Watch also welcomed the king's decision but said it came too late.
"King Abdullah's promise that women will finally be allowed to vote is a welcome move away from the discrimination and exclusion that Saudi women have suffered for so long," said Sarah Leah Whitson, HRW's Middle East director.
"Sadly, King Abdullah's promise of reform in 2015 doesn't come soon enough for women to vote in upcoming municipal elections," Whitson said of Thursday's vote.
Amnesty International cautiously welcomed the decision but said the kingdom was moving much too slowly on women's rights.
"It is a welcome, albeit limited, step along the long road towards gender equality in Saudi Arabia," said Philip Luther, Amnesty's deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa.
"It is, however, much overdue and does not go nearly far enough."
