Iraq stops medicine transactions with Jordanians that deal with Israel
Jordan-Iraq, Politics, 5/24/1999

Iraqi sources told ArabicNews.com that Iraq stopped dealing with some Jordanian medicine companies because of their dealings with Israel and that Iraq refused to complete some transactions for purchasing Jordanian medicines after learning it had a part in the economic normalization process with Israel.

The sources added, "Iraq considered itself free of any commitment ratified with Jordanian medicine companies and stopped these transactions."

Meanwhile, the public union for vocational syndicates in Jordan started a campaign against the Jordanian companies that deal with Israel, referring to them as normalized companies with the Zionist enemy.

The Iraqi Ministry of Health informed the union of Jordanian pharmacists of the suspension of transactions, adding that the union started an expanded initiative aimed at collecting information about the concerned companies as soon as it is informed.
