Iraq bans the import of Japanese, Swiss products
Iraq, Politics, 2/24/1999
The Iraqi authorities have decided to prevent the importation of Japanese and Swiss products, in the course of the oil-for-food program. Earlier the Iraqi authorities banned the imports from the US and Britain.
The Iraqi weekly al-Itihad said on Tuesday that Iraq has listed 33 countries from which it will import its needs according to the oil-for-food program with the UN.
The paper did not mention the reason which made the Iraqi specialized sides ban the importation of commodities from Switzerland, which is known for its neutrality, or those imported from Japan, which does not interfere militarily in foreign affairs.
