17:38  Nekrus: Власти КНДР возмущены проведением авиацией Военно-воздушных сил США разведывательных полетов над северокорейской территорией и обвиняют Вашингтон в нарушении суверенитета страны. В Пхеньяне уверены, что подобные акции со стороны американцев свидетельствуют о том, что Вашингтон планирует нападение на КНДР.

По заявлению представителей командования ВВС КНДР, в течение недели разведывательный самолет ВВС США совершил несколько полетов над территориальными водами Северной Кореи для сбора информации о стратегических объектах Пхеньяна, сообщает (С) Associated Press.

Северокорейская сторона не в первый раз сообщает о том, что США ведут разведдеятельность, направленную против КНДР. Так, по данным Пхеньяна, только в апреле с.г. ВС США совершили порядка 160 разведывательных полетов над территорией Северной Кореи.

Как сообщают северокорейские СМИ, американские самолеты-шпионы U-2, RC-135 и EP-3 пролетали над северокорейскими стратегическими объектами и обследовали береговую линию КНДР. Большинство полетов осуществлялось в период с 21 по 24 апреля с.г., когда в Пхеньяне проходили официальные встречи между представителями КНДР и Южной Кореи.

В свою очередь, американское командование не комментирует данную информацию. В то же время, США признают, что следят за военной активностью КНДР. Во многом, разведка ведется для того, чтобы получить информацию о ядерном оружии.

17:41  Nekrus: «У нас уверенно росло предложение, но мы встретились с шоком потребления. В связи с этим возрастает роль ответственности потребителей», - сказал он. Обсудив проблему энергетической безопасности, министры финансов стран G8 в итоговом коммюнике зафиксировали ответственность за энергетическую безопасность, как стран-потребителей, так и производителей энергоресурсов. В частности, в документе указывается на необходимость всем участникам рынка облегчать инвестирование в энергетический сектор, повышать эффективность использования энергоресурсов, и содействовать открытости информации об энергетических рынках.

17:41  Nekrus: Обсудив проблемы развития мировой экономики, главы финансовых ведомств G8 в целом оказались довольными нынешними темпами ее роста. «Темпы роста мировой экономики остаются высокими, и база роста постепенно расширяется», отмечается в коммюнике, принятом по итогам их встречи. Вместе с тем, они отметили сохраняющиеся риски замедления роста из-за высоких и волатильных цен на энергоресурсы и усиливающихся глобальных дисбалансов. «Мы подчеркиваем, что приспособление мировой экономики к изменившимся условиям является делом совместной ответственности, и подтверждаем нашу приверженность решению вопросов, связанных с глобальными дисбалансами».

18:35  cub: С одной стороны конечно отвергший предложения Иран отверг их не окончательно

TEHRAN (AP)--Iran finds parts of a Western incentives package aimed at addressing the nuclear dispute "acceptable," but other parts need to be developed, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said Sunday.

Hamid Reza Asefi also said Iran is not stalling by taking time to respond to the package, which was presented to Iran last week.

"We started studying the package from the same hour it was presented to us. We should evaluate it. There are points which are acceptable. There are points which are ambiguous, and there are points that we believe should be strengthened," Asefi told reporters.

Да и в Ираке поставки стабилизируются.

By Hassan Hafidh

Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

AMMAN -(Dow Jones)- Iraq has resumed pumping crude oil from northern oil fields in Kirkuk to the Turkish port of Ceyhan after an interruption of more than four months, Iraqi Oil Minister Hussein al-Shahristani said Sunday.

"The larger northern export pipeline was operated yesterday (Saturday)," Shahristani told Dow Jones Newswires, in an interview on the sidelines of a meeting on Iraq held by the International Monetary Fund in Amman.

"We have tested the pipeline and it is operational," he said.

Separately, an Iraqi oil official in Baghdad said that 100,000 barrels were pumped to the Turkish port Saturday.

Iraq briefly resumed pumping crude via the pipeline twice in January. But pipeline was soon sabotaged, preventing any more shipments.

Persistence sabotage of oil facilities by insurgents has shut the northern export pipeline for most of this year and 2005. Before the U.S.-led invasion, the 42-inch pipeline exported around 800,000 barrels a day.

"We are expecting to resume sustainable exports from the north at an average of 50,000-100,000 b/d," Shahristani said.

Shahristani, a nuclear scientist by training, was appointed oil minister last month by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, whose government is supposed to hold office for four years.

Shahristani was imprisoned in 1979 by Saddam's Hussein's government. He escaped prison in 1991 and fled to Iran. He has also lived in Canada. He returned to Iraq after the U.S. toppled Saddam in 2003.

Shahristani said the oil ministry plans to increase oil output from the north to 1 million b/d in the next four years. Iraq is currently producing around 250,000 b/d from the north.

The target is achievable if a second, 26-inch pipeline is repaired, and the region's oil installations can be made secure, the minister said.

"We are laying down a new plan to protect the northern oil export system," Shahristani said. "The plan involves the Iraqi Ministry of Defense, the U.S-led multinational forces and the oil protection force."

Shaharistani said the oil ministry has a short-term plan to increase production by 100,000 to 150,000 b/d by the end of the year, and by 250,000 b/d by the end of 2007. Iraq is currently producing around 2 million b/d from southern oil fields. Exports from the south are currently around 1.5 million b/d.

He said a four-year plan aims to increase production to 4.3 million b/d by the end of 2010 and to 6 million b/d by the end of 2012.

Foreign Investment in Iraqi oil sector welcomed

Shahristani said his ministry expects to start contract talks with international oil companies during 2006.

"We hope that before the end of this year, negotiations with international oil companies would start, to develop Iraq's oil fields," he said.

He said about $20 billion in investment is needed in Iraq's oil sector over the next six years.

"A lot of companies have told us that they are ready to start investment, but we are waiting for the enactment of a new oil and gas law," Shahristani said.

The ministry is writing a draft oil and gas law, he said. "Such a law needs to be ratified by the parliament. We hope that the law would be enacted by the end of this year."

The minister said he reached agreement with Turkish officials during his recent visit to Turkey to pay money owed by Iraq for importing fuel from Turkey.

"Iraq is now paying $72 million every month to Turkish companies in return for fuel imports. Iraq will pay all due money to Turkey by the end of this year," he said. He didn't say, however, how much Iraq should pay.

Turkish companies have suspended fuel exports to Iraq because Baghdad delayed payment. "Now the problem is solved and Turkish companies promised to resume exports of fuel," Shahristani said.

Iraq has been suffering an acute shortage of fuel over the past few months.

Shahristani also said work is progressing to repair Khor al-Amaya oil terminal in the Persian Gulf. The terminal, which handles only a very small amount of Iraqi crude oil exports from the south, was damaged by fire last month.

The minister said the fire was caused by a technical fault, not sabotage. Most of Iraq's southern oil exports are handled by the larger Basra terminal nearby.

Но с другой стороны

LONDON -(Dow Jones)- Al-Qaida in Iraq vowed Sunday to carry out large-scale attacks that would "shake the enemy", after the killing of its leader Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, Sky News reported citing Reuters.

The militant group, in a statement on the Internet, said its leading body held a meeting after Zarqawi's death to discuss strategy and renew a pledge to al-Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden.
