Mr. Alan Duncan: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the United Arab
Emirates-Iraq free trade agreement on 2 November; and what plans he has for the discussions on the issue to be held in Muscat in
December. [18038]
Mr. Bradshaw: The UN "oil for food" programme, which enables Iraq to use the revenue from its oil sales through the UN to buy goods
worth billions of dollars each year to meet the humanitarian needs of the Iraqi people and to rehabilitate Iraq's infrastructure,
has led to significant growth in Iraq's trade with its neighbours. We have no objection to agreements to promote this trade to
benefit the Iraqi people, provided that such agreements neither breach UN controls, for example by promoting the export from Iraq of
goods other than crude oil, nor contribute to the Iraqi regime's aim to engineer the lifting of UN controls without having to meet
its international obligations, particularly on disarmament.
We are not aware of any plans to discuss this issue in Muscat.
