Former Colombian international goalkeeper René Higuita will receive US$17,344 from the Colombian government due to his illegal arrest and detainment back in 1993.

A report by the National Audit Office (read the executive summary HERE) has said that one in three government departments need to action improvements to their data systems. The NAO's report examines data quality - they are the governments spending auditors and therefore need data (such as that lost by HMRC) in order to do their job.The pretty little pie chart on the executive summary states that according to their findings, 35% of data systems were "broadly appropriate but need strengthening" while a further 8% were "unfit for purpose". We know which category HMRC belongs to.The fact the NAO is feeling a bit pissed off having been dragged into the datagate scandal may explain the recommendation by them that..."When collecting data from external sources, Departments should ensure that they are aware of significant risks to data quality, and take steps to manage them."

New Delhi says it is still a part of the 7.4-billion-dollar pipeline project aimed to transfer Iran's natural gas to India via Pakistan."We have never said that we are pulling out of the Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) project. We are part of the project and will continue pursuing import of gas from Iran through the three-nation pipeline," India's Petroleum Secretary M.S. Srinivasan said.The official, however, underlined reaching the pact on the IPI project is conditioned to resolving the problems on the transit fees with Pakistan."We have told Iran clearly that we want to settle the transit fee issue with Pakistan before signing a tri-nation pipeline deal," he stated, according to Press Trust of India.Srinivasan expressed hope that India be able to settle transit issues with Pakistan after its presidential elections.Iran and Pakistan held talks last week over the pipeline project in the absence of India. They finalized a deal on late Friday. The two countries are planning to finalize the

Reliance Industries' bid to supply natural gas to PSU NTPC at a rate of $2.34 per million British thermal unit is not in accordance with the government policy for pricing of the fuel, an oil ministry note said.The Mukesh Ambani company had in 2004 offered a delivered price of $3.18 per mBtu for gas from its eastern offshore Krishna Godavari block KG-D6 to NTPC's Kawas and Gandhar power plants in Gujarat."Based on the letters from the ministry of power and media reports, it emerges that the price has been determined by adopting reverse auction scheme i.e. a bidder offering the lowest gas price was selected by NTPC. This procedure obviously is in contravention to the provisions of the production sharing contract (that stipulates gas to be sold at maximum possible price)," the undated ministry note said.The comments assume significance in view of observations by a committee of secretaries, which was asked to look into a new price formulation proposed by RIL, that approving an alternativ
The verdict is out. The joint bid by power company Globeleq Singapore and Indian infrastructure company Lanco for the 4000 MW Sasan power project has been rejected. The empowered group of ministers (E-GoM), constituted to take a call on the controversial bidding for the Sasan project, held that the Globeleq-Lanco (L1) bid was ‘void ab initio’, meaning null and void.The Lanco group may challenge the decision. The matter became contentious when other bidders — Reliance Energy Generation and NTPC — raised objections to the bid once the lead bidding company, Globeleq Singapore, was sold off to Lanco Infratech and Jindal Steel and Power.They also alleged that the consortium that won the bid had not met all the financial and technical parameters. Under political pressure, the government constituted a special E-GoM headed by power minister Sushilkumar Shinde to look into the charges.Sasan Power (SPL) — the shell company overseeing the bidding process — has now been directed to tak
Iran will allow United Nations inspectors to visit a reactor under construction that could produce plutonium, the International Atomic Energy Agency said. The agreement for an inspection of the heavy-water reactor at Arak later this month came during discussions this week in Tehran between Ali Larijani, Iran's security chief, and Olli Heinonen, the UN nuclear agency's deputy director-general. Iran and agency officials agreed to meet again in Vienna in July and in August in Iran. The agreement was a possible sign of compromise by Iran which has been under investigation by the IAEA since 2003. Heinonen said yesterday that talks in Tehran had been ``constructive.'' The Islamic Republic, which holds the world's second-largest oil and natural gas reserves, says its atomic activities are geared toward generating electricity. The U.S. says Iran seeks instead to develop an atomic bomb. Iran's ambassador to the IAE
Venezuela continues negotiations with major oil companies that have withdrawn from the nation in the face of President Hugo Chavez's nationalization of the industry, but will not back down from insistence on Venezuelan control, its ambassador to the United States said in Houston today. Venezuela will hold the majority control in upstream operations, Ambassador Bernardo Alvarez said in a meeting with the Chronicle editorial board. "We want partnerships with private companies, but with that rule." Alvarez also said he does not believe the United States will attempt to confiscate Venezuelan assets in this country, including five refineries, as compensation for oil company assets in Venezuela. He hopes his country and the companies involved will reach agreement. Last month, Houston-based ConocoPhillips and Irving-based Exxon Mobil refused to accept new working terms for their Venezuelan operations. Venezuela's national oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela, known as PDVSA, absorbed their
Kuwait studying a request by legislators to disclose the size of its oil reserves, a minister said yesterday, as doubts lingered that they could be sharply lower than official estimates. The issue could delay approval for the emirate's budget. "The issue is still under study. There will be discussions between the finance minister and parliament on it," Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Faisal Al Hajji said in parliament. The scale of reserves in the country remains sensitive since industry newsletter Petroleum Intelligence Weekly (PIW) said in January last year it had seen internal records showing reserves were about 48 billion barrels - half the officially stated 99bn. The difference is equal to over four percent of global proved oil reserves, according to data in BP's annual statistical review. Legislators threatened not to pass this year's budget if reserves are not disclosed, a local newspaper reported on Monday. Kuwait's budget was scheduled for approval in parliament by

The Friday ruling of Delhi High Court in which it took a serious note of the observations made by the Comptroller and Auditor General’s report on power privatisation process here could force the government to answer some serious questions. The CAG in its report for 2002-03 had indicated that the state has suffered a loss of over Rs 6,000 crore due to decisions take during the unbundling of the Delhi Vidyut Board (DVB). The report had pointed that there was a significant dilution of the transmission and distribution (T&D) loss targets. This alone, according to the CAG, had caused a loss of Rs 3,928.70 crore. The report also questioned the process of choosing consultant to map the privatisation process in Delhi and pointed that the details of asset valuation were not made available to the auditors themselves. According to the report, the government received bids from Hyderabad’s Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI), SBI Caps and ICICI for consultancy work but SBI Caps

Pakistan has formally approved a plan to import electricity from Iran for areas in southwestern Baluchistan province, officials have said. The two countries had signed a deal to supply electricity to the port city of Gwadar and coastal areas of Baluchistan in February this year. The Central Development Working Party (CDWP), a decision-making body in Pakistan, approved yesterday the project which envisages construction of about 22 KV GIS sub-station using 100km long 220 KV double circuit twin bundle transmission line from the Pak-Iran border to Gwadar. The Export Development Bank of Iran (EDBI) would provide up to 85 percent finances for the project, while the Pakistan's National Transmission Dispatch Company (NDTC) would provide the 15 percent liquidity, according to reports. The import of power transmission will be through 220 KV 170-KM link between proposed 220 KV Polan sub-station and 220 KV Gwadar Industrial State sub-station. The NTDC would arrange the financing by commercia

Iran announced a dramatic expansion of uranium enrichment today, saying it has begun operating 3,000 centrifuges — nearly 10 times the previously known number — in defiance of U.N. demands it halt its nuclear program or face increased sanctions. U.S. experts say 3,000 centrifuges are in theory enough to produce a nuclear weapon, perhaps within a year. But they doubted Iran

The US Government surrendered without lifting a finger. Its case that Chevron underpaid for use of federal land to pump gas in the Gulf of Mexico was dropped. Oil and gas companies are mandated to pay part of their sales for product brought out of land owned by the government. But, the calculations are fuzzy.
Big oil stands to add to its profits if the feds don't push for a higher rate of royalty. What's it worth? Perhaps several hundred million dollars.
But, it is a small gift. With falling oil prices, it will not make up from the likely drop in profits at Big Oil. Inventories are still rising. The fears that Saudi production could be hurt by terrorists is receding. And, OPEC's plan to cut production seems to have no teeth.
Ah, for a little, tiny war. Not one in which anyone gets hurt, mind you. Or, a little coup d'etat. Just something to grab the headlines for a day or two.
