The State of Qatar announced that its permanent mission to the World Trade Organization (WTO) has received a formal communication indicating that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) had withdrawn its WTO dispute concerning certain alleged measures adopted by Qatar.

Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed in a statement that the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation released a statement confirming that the UAE formally backed down from their case.

The UAE’s failure in advancing this dispute against the State of Qatar demonstrates that the allegations made against Qatar were false and baseless, the statement said. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ statement underlined that the UAE’s decision to withdraw its complaint so soon after initiating this dispute confirms that Qatar has, and continues to, uphold and comply with its obligations under the WTO, adding “Evidently, the UAE had no arguments or evidence to show otherwise, as such, the UAE has formally withdrawn their complaint prior to the initiation of any adjudication by a WTO Panel”.

The statement further said that the State of Qatar has previously asserted that the inability of UAE goods to enter the Qatari market is due solely to the trade restrictive measures imposed by the UAE, which has in turn - led to the suffering of the UAE companies. The continued export of gas to the UAE is a clear example of how Qatar upholds and respects its international obligations, the Ministry has stressed. The statement asserted that the State of Qatar continues to pursue its own complaint against the UAE’s unlawful measures imposed on 5 June 2017, stressing that UAE must withdraw its illegal trade-restrictive measures.

It also pointed that a WTO panel is currently reviewing the claims brought by Qatar and will issue a binding report in due course. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed in its statement that the State of Qatar will spare no efforts in pursuing its legal rights, in all international fora, to ensure the withdrawal of the UAE’s unlawful measures against the State of Qatar, reiterating the State of Qatar’s commitment to comply fully with its WTO obligations and will continue to foster a stable and predictable trading environment for its economic partners around the world.

From story books to stage, classic fairy tales, popular cartoon characters and superheroes are attracting large number of audiences at shopping malls during the Eid Al Adha holidays continuing the excitement as Summer in Qatar programme winds down to its final week.

Gulf Drilling International (GDI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Gulf International Services (GIS), has executed a joint venture agreement with Seadrill Limited to service the Qatar Petroleum North Field Expansion drilling programme.

The joint venture, which will be established by Qatar Financial Centre under a 50:50 ownership structure, will be named “GulfDrill”. GIS is one of the largest service groups in Qatar, with interests in a broad cross-section of industries, ranging from insurance, re-insurance, onshore and offshore drilling, accommodation barge, helicopter transportation, and catering services. The joint venture is formed to support the execution of the drilling contracts which have been awarded to GDI, a release issued by GIS said.

GDI has no required capital contribution to the joint venture. GDI will be subcontracted by the joint venture to mobilise and manage the rigs to meet the requirements of the drilling contracts. The joint venture will source rigs directly from Seadrill, and any additional rigs required will be sourced from an unrelated third-party shipyard.

The firm terms of the well-based contracts will commence in 2020 with initial terms concluding in 2023 and 2024 and an estimated total contract value (including mobilisation income) of QR 2.39bn. The contracts include single well-based options which could add up to an estimated 13.7 cumulative years of term and an additional contract value of QR 2.55bn. The options could be exercised only if the contractual stipulations are realised prior to the end of the firm contracts period. If the options are exercised by the customer at a later date, GIS will announce the award of the options accordingly.

William Ceppi, GDI's Chief Executive Officer, stated: “We are pleased with the continued collaboration with our joint venture partner. We look forward to working closely with all stakeholders on this significant project and we remain honoured to be entrusted to continue our safe and efficient operations for Qatar Petroleum.” The joint venture comes in line with GIS's strategy to capture new business opportunities that would potentially help increase revenues and ultimately maximise shareholder value.

The biggest Central Market will open soon for business in Al Sailiya. The new facility have different sections for fish, poultry, fruits and vegetables and an abattoir for camels, cows and sheep  under one roof.

“The Al Sailiya Central Market was expected to open in the first quarter of this year, but owing to some expansion works and special procedures the opening was delayed. But it  will open  for business after two months maximum,” said an official source at the Ministry of Municipality and Environment. He also pointed out that the opening of the market was postponed several times and  as every preparation is complete, it is ready for business.

The market serves Al Rayan, Abu Hamour and Al Sailiya. The abattoir is equipped with most modern machinery and it is built according to specifications required by modern standards. It has dedicated areas to sell all kinds of foodstuff such as fruits, vegetables, poultry, he said. About the existing abattoirs in Al Rayan, he said: “For a long time we have been asking authorities concerned to develop them, because they are very small and do not have waiting area for people, especially on special occasions such as  Eid Al Adha, Ramadan and Eid Al Fitr.

In a previous statement to The Peninsula, he said that  on occasion such as Eid and Ramadan, customers had to wait hours for the slaughtered animal to be ready, and the new abattoir in the central market in Al Sailiya will solve these problems which are pushing many customers to slaughter their animals at homes to avoid long queues.” So the opening of the new Central Market will serve people from many nearby areas and will end their suffering, because the market satisfies their need for fish, vegetables, fruit and meat as they can get all these at one place, he stressed.

The central market is built on a total area  of  12,000 square metres, and includes three buildings, each one consisting two floors. The main building accommodates different shops for fruits, vegetables, fish, and others. There is also an administration building. The abattoir for camels, cows and sheep is in the third building.
