00:00:00of Finance. We are already
00:00:04your speech, you always focused on rejecting the treasury from the Ministry of Finance,
00:00:06so they certainly won't give it to us because I'm giving them money, not them going
00:00:10to give me a part of their budget.
00:00:13one question. Peace I am not, I am not an administrative body to take money. I am an investment and economic body in
00:00:37always Al-Bashir. Thank you, Mr. President, Your Excellency, the Minister.
00:00:42Excellency, the Minister. Why is the price of a liter of gasoline in Lebanon $1.34, while in Syria, according to
00:00:45the presentation, it is $1.52?
00:00:49in the groundwater level in result in a group, a percentage Today, we are facing many external shocks. There is the Gulf War, and there is a war,
00:00:52and there is the straits, and there are many
00:00:56external crises. What is the policy, the policy
00:00:58God willing, we are able to cover of the Ministry, to confront these external shocks and not
00:01:02transfer them to the citizen? Thank you.
00:01:05Colleague Mu'ayyad
00:01:07Qubtur. Your Excellency,
00:01:10the Minister,
00:01:13thing is the speed in completing this the northern and northeastern Aleppo countryside is
00:01:16a vast plain region characterized
00:01:22and the diseases spreading due to this by very high quality and fertile soil.
00:01:26This region
00:01:29is poor in groundwater. There was
00:01:32a project before
00:01:34students would continue in 2011 In general, His Excellency, the Minister, prepared by the Ministry
00:01:36the of Irrigation to draw water from
00:01:42addressed the implications of this the Euphrates to
00:01:43Also, our people in this region. But after
00:01:47of diesel the situation, anyway, Your Excellency, the Minister, this region
00:01:51is very fertile, and if these areas are irrigated,
00:01:54the quantities of
00:01:57support throughout Syria, not just in production will be very high. And this region
00:02:01is also very close to the A'zaz region,
00:02:05which borders the Jarabulus
00:02:08region where the Euphrates River enters Syrian territory, so the
00:02:11cost will hopefully be low. The second question
00:02:14is about the
00:02:17today the farmer in fuel stations that we noticed
00:02:21In my opinion, the presence of one of
00:02:21a solution in Syria, region, cannot appeared after the years of the revolution, especially in the
00:02:24I mean, in previously liberated areas. What is the plan, Your Excellency, the Minister,
00:02:28for
00:02:44of citizens
00:02:44gas to reduce operation on is always surprised by price increases? He always feels that
00:02:48then 38, I mean, at he is the crisis and that he will bear the crisis. This
00:02:51energy and electricity are
00:02:55among the necessities of the citizen's life that he lives with
00:02:58daily. So, if
00:03:01from the rest of the state's the matter is surprising, then it will be a failure, and we will see these demonstrations, and this harms
00:03:05the state. You, Your Excellency, the Minister,
00:03:07are the ones who
00:03:11that there are many directly affect the citizen in his life and touch the basics
00:03:14to the next question, which is whether of his life, so he takes to the streets in demonstrations. We they are in need of support in want to bridge
00:03:18this gap between the state and the citizen.
00:03:21We know that you are doing
00:03:24matter was discussed with your utmost to work, but I suggest that there be a reserve fund
00:03:28to deal with these emergency crises. This fund should come from
00:03:32the revenues that we receive,
00:03:35Syrian Electricity Company, and so on. However, this such as now that Syria has become two observations on this a corridor from Iraq to the coast, and shipments
00:03:41not at all. There will certainly be a part of it from pass through it. All these funds does not mean that we should do should go into this fund to return to the citizen and to the vulnerable
00:03:42at all correspond
00:03:51Peace be upon you all. The Minister mentioned
00:03:54that those whose work was suspended in the Syrian Company were contract
00:03:58workers. However, he forgot that most of them were
00:04:01among those who were dismissed because of the revolution, meaning
00:04:05injustice befell them twice. Instead of making them permanent,
00:04:09we gave them contracts, and then
00:04:12later,
00:04:14President. There their work was suspended because they
00:04:17celebrated uncovering a corruption
00:04:20case that resonated throughout
00:04:23they lack experience, I mentioned that we formed a committee, and the the world, and we do not know who bore
00:04:26both males and females? the blame for this corruption that occurred, even though a direct question was asked
00:04:28that justified the central region. If this about this case. 28 million
00:04:32dollars, and we do not know who bore it among
00:04:35the officials.
00:04:38in the contract signing stage, God willing. Therefore, we strongly demand justice for those who were dismissed.
00:04:43and consulted our brothers in How is it possible that they forced the director to give them
00:04:45approval? The one who has the power to
00:04:49force the director, was he looking for approval? He would have celebrated
00:04:52without seeking approval. I mean, what is this
00:04:55illogical narrative from the Syrian Company?
00:04:58Then
00:05:13I noticed, Your Excellency, in
00:05:17factories and factory owners and so on, and you, sir,
00:05:21your work started in this regard in the
00:05:24humanitarian field. So today, we hope that
00:05:27you will consider the most vulnerable groups, and I suggest that
00:05:31one person from the Ministry of Social Affairs
00:05:34and Labor be on the price-setting
00:05:39help the most vulnerable groups.
00:05:42There are always people, in any decision, Your Excellency, the Minister, as my colleagues said,
00:05:46there are vulnerable groups and there are beneficiaries
00:05:50from crises. So it is not very difficult for us to study
00:05:54both cases and take from here and put
00:05:57here in critical times like this time.
00:06:00And also, in the context of the rationing issue,
00:06:03Your Excellency, today our Syrian people
00:06:07are with their state. This is a given.
00:06:10No, and
00:06:43Thank you. First, the price
00:06:47of gasoline in Lebanon is 1.58
00:06:50dollars,
00:06:53213 Syrian pounds. The brother who asked about gasoline
00:06:57said 213 Syrian pounds, meaning it is not cheaper than ours.
00:07:00He is not saying 1.58.
00:07:03Yes, and diesel is more expensive
00:07:05than ours. No, it is not
00:07:08that much. 1.34
00:07:12in Syrian pounds is 200.
00:07:15It is more expensive than ours, meaning it is true that you are
00:07:18calculating 1.34, meaning 134 Syrian pounds. No, multiply
00:07:21by 1.4. In mathematics, the conversion of
00:07:25the Syrian pound is 135. The brother might have missed
00:07:28this point, so he needs to multiply by 135 to get
00:07:31the amount in Syrian pounds. Regarding
00:07:33drawing
00:07:36water from the Euphrates towards the Aleppo countryside, we have the Tadi'if-Bab project,
00:07:40which we will implement through
00:07:50the Ministry successively, God willing. As the professor mentioned
00:07:54earlier, Syria has areas,
00:07:5770% of the land is arable and irrigable, so it is not possible
00:08:00to implement these projects all at once,
00:08:03especially with demands to make electricity
00:08:06unprofitable, and gasoline unprofitable, and oil unprofitable, and bread unprofitable. We certainly will not
00:08:10implement 10% of these problems
00:08:14revenues. The issue of surprise price increases.
00:08:18I will mention the reason why we
00:08:21don't prepare for the matter beforehand and meet and so on. Price
00:08:25increases are a very big door to crises
00:08:29and corruption. I mean, today, if I know that diesel will
00:08:33rise from 125 to 150 or
00:08:36160, I will create a crisis and buy fuel
00:08:40and store 2000 or 1000, and large
00:08:43traders who trade in crises will go and store a million liters
00:08:47and then release it to the market, which will create a crisis for the commodity, and they will
00:08:50profit from the citizen. In the end, it will come back to them because there will be a crisis, and the
00:08:54commodity will decrease. So, it is not possible to announce the matter simply
00:08:58by saying that in a week, you will know about gasoline
00:09:01because the derivatives committee met and we documented the meeting that they would reduce
00:09:05oil derivatives. People no longer wanted fuel from gas stations. Do you remember the
00:09:09past period? No, the stations started asking for fuel. I mean, we used to
00:09:12be asked for 7000 tons of gasoline per day, but now
00:09:16they ask for 1 ton. The stations no longer
00:09:19consumed everything they had, and even people with their cars no longer
00:09:23used them, knowing that the price would drop in a few days. So, announcing these
00:09:26matters will create crises that we can do without. Regarding
00:09:30the professor's mention of contracts,
00:09:34committee will study the matter if there is a violation
00:09:37or a narrative from the company
00:09:41justification for their dismissal is illogical, the person
00:09:45who erred will be punished. And then if
00:09:48the names that were mentioned are from the revolution, I have
00:09:51this employee. Ultimately, he is subject to the ministry. If
00:09:55he is wronged by 1%, we will not accept it. We will lift the injustice
00:09:58from him, God willing. May every employee in this
00:10:01ministry be responsible for their flock.
00:10:05We, God willing, will not accept any injustice against any employee in
00:10:10or otherwise. Regarding pricing, thank you for
00:10:15and the proposal.
00:10:18It is a good suggestion that there be someone from Social Affairs
00:10:21role because you mentioned that I come from a humanitarian background, so many
00:10:25of the pricing committee members submit proposals to us, and we have said,
00:10:28put it in the pricing policy that they should keep pace with global markets.
00:10:31The company has been losing money for four months now and tells me we need to raise this
00:10:35and we need to raise that, and the economy
00:10:39from economics on the committee, and I was always
00:10:43hoping that the crisis
00:10:46would soon be resolved and prices would fall. I used to take this role
00:10:50to have someone from social affairs, which is good. We will coordinate with them, God willing.
00:10:53We always rely on a representative on the committee so that they always look
00:10:57at the vulnerable segments, and ultimately the title
00:11:00of the stage is to support vulnerable segments, and I always re-emphasize
00:11:04that the transition from the socialist economic system
00:11:07to the market economy system will
00:11:11of people who will certainly be harmed. This is certain. We, through
00:11:15social affairs and these vulnerable segments, will provide them with support
00:11:18for electricity, for fuel in winter, for heating.
00:11:32the Minister, the suffering of our people in Baniyas and Al-Qadmus is a double suffering,
00:11:36and the reason is the presence of the thermal power plant and the refinery and the Syrian Company for Oil
00:11:39Transport, and what they cause in terms of massive pollution and diseases
00:11:42in the region. These facilities need to install filters to reduce pollution
00:11:47pollution. The region also needs compensation for the damage
00:11:51it has suffered. Your Excellency, the Minister, previously, a portion of the refinery's revenues was allocated to developing the affected areas.
00:11:55We hope for a reconsideration of allocating these revenues to the benefit of the affected areas in an appropriate
00:11:59manner, and if possible, we hope for direct compensation for the damage, i.e.,
00:12:03reducing electricity prices for the areas affected by power generation directly.
00:12:08Al-Qadmus, as a mountainous region, are among the most vulnerable groups at all, and the
00:12:11most difficult weather conditions during winter. And there are many areas where bread only reaches them
00:12:15by helicopters during snowstorms. The most vulnerable groups, Your
00:12:19Excellency, the Minister, need dedicated
00:12:22Al-Qadmus, in terms of fuel and water and sanitation issues in freezing
00:12:35I think we need to think strategically. The world is going through an energy
00:12:39crisis, and it may last a long time. Renewable
00:12:42energy, as you mentioned, is not
00:12:46at least.
00:12:49the presentation, you mentioned
00:12:52oil shale. 38 billion tons,
00:12:55I think, is a solution, and I believe,
00:12:59according to my follow-up, there is no investment yet for
00:13:02this material. 38 billion tons means six
00:13:06times the oil reserves in Syria. If the oil reserves in Syria are
00:13:102.5 billion,
00:13:13least, if it is 0.5 or 0.6
00:13:16per ton, then we are talking about nearly 20
00:13:19billion. Estonia reached
00:13:2390% of its electrical energy. Jordan,
00:13:26next to us, and you know, sir, oil shale is present in the north
00:13:30near Khanasser and in Daraa. Jordan,
00:13:33I think, has made good progress. I hope this will
00:13:36be among the strategic projects that
00:13:39achieve energy security. The issue is not just about prices.
00:13:52members, Mr. Minister of Energy, we face
00:13:55a big problem with water scarcity in the Aleppo countryside, and the government has not
00:13:59delivered water to some villages and towns, and the irrigation project
00:14:03in the Al-Bab area has been stalled for more than ten years,
00:14:06and there is no water source for the people.
00:14:12do not allow residents and farmers to dig
00:14:16wells or clean old wells. People need
00:14:19to drink and irrigate. I mean, where do people go?
00:14:23People need to drink, but they can't find water. Not from the government,
00:14:26nor can they buy water because
00:14:30its price is high.
00:14:39is no institution in the new Syria that has adhered
00:14:42to the constitutional declaration as the People's Assembly has. We ask
00:14:46the Ministry of Energy to abide by its goals in the new Syria
00:14:50that were stated in the presentation made by His Excellency the Minister
00:14:53to achieve social justice.
00:14:55The share of Raqqa governorate from the electricity generated by the Euphrates Dam was
00:14:59120 megawatts, which was reduced four months ago to 70 megawatts.
00:15:11power generation plants in Hasakah, which the Minister mentioned.
00:15:14Two plants in Suwaydiya. They are in a very
00:15:18bad condition and produce no more than
00:15:2110% of the governorate's electricity needs.
00:15:25Therefore, we propose establishing a modern
00:15:27gas-fired power plant
00:15:30with a combined cycle capacity of 450 megawatts
00:15:34instead of the dilapidated turbines currently in use.
00:15:38What is the Ministry's plan to repair power transmission
00:15:41lines between Hasakah Governorate
00:15:44and the rest of the governorates, the high-voltage lines
00:15:47to connect Hasakah to the Syrian
00:15:49network?
00:15:52Your Excellency, the Minister, does the Syrian government have any intention
00:15:56of allocating a portion of oil revenues to develop
00:15:59the eastern region? One last inquiry: the nature
00:16:02of the relationship with HK N and Gulf
00:16:05Sands? Thank you.
00:16:19Initially, a question was
00:16:21raised from the Energy Committee's questions,
00:16:25and we missed answering it in the presentation: the issue of oil secondary schools. We
00:16:28issued a decision, and we found that there was no benefit. The students who come
00:16:32are mostly not very interested in this
00:16:35study. They come either because
00:16:37it is close to them or for certain reasons, and they want to work in
00:16:41this sector in any capacity. However, there is no benefit from the education.
00:16:44The competencies we are producing are not very suitable. So, we decided that
00:16:48we would maintain the oil institutes, and the oil secondary schools would be
00:16:51abolished, and they would then have literature
00:16:55and science in general secondary schools, industrial secondary schools, etc.
00:16:58So we abolished them. Some professors told me that some
00:17:02students might be affected, and where would they go? No, we arranged with the Ministry
00:17:05of Education to accommodate all students who were in secondary schools. We coordinated
00:17:09in advance with the Ministry of Education that these
00:17:14general secondary schools they have, whether industrial secondary schools or
00:17:17general secondary schools. The issue of stations
00:17:21and refineries. This is a matter, let's be
00:17:25honest, all our strategic and vital facilities are spread throughout
00:17:28Syria, thank God. We have power plants in the Damascus
00:17:31countryside. We have Tishreen station, Al-Nasiri station, and Deir
00:17:35Ali station. And we have Mahardah, and we have Jandar in Homs. And we have
00:17:38Homs refinery. We have Baniyas refinery. We have stations located
00:17:42at Aleppo Al-Harbi station. So all our dams are in Raqqa. We have
00:17:46oil and wells in Deir ez-Zor, and factories in the central region. We have
00:17:49Al-Furgilus, Hayan, and Ebla gas fields. So all the
00:17:52vital facilities and infrastructure are spread throughout Syrian geography. So, many times,
00:17:56the issue is raised that we are affected by this. And yes, generally,
00:17:59the eastern region, and even the coastal
00:18:03region around Baniyas refinery, our people in Homs
00:18:06are affected by carbon emissions. We will
00:18:10strive our best, and we are dealing with issues related
00:18:14to Baniyas refinery and the large carbon emissions that occurred recently. We are also
00:18:18working on securing
00:18:21fuel. Gas carbon emissions are always less than carbon
00:18:24emissions if we operate the power plants on fuel.
00:18:28Therefore, our people in the region
00:18:31always say that we are in the Euphrates Dam region, so
00:18:35Raqqa should have priority in electricity. And our people
00:18:38in Baniyas say, brother, we have a power plant, so we should have the largest
00:18:41share of electricity. Homs tells us that Jandar's share should be larger, and Damascus
00:18:45and its countryside. So all the power plants have facilities, and these resources
00:18:48generally belong to the Syrian state. And here, I will also move on
00:18:52we support the region,
00:18:54for example, the eastern region, from the
00:18:58oil production. This
00:19:02the presidency and the general secretariat and the Ministry
00:19:05of Finance. The result we reached is that
00:19:07we have revenues. We have
00:19:11certain revenues that we put in the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry of Finance makes budgets. However,
00:19:14we can refer to the issue that, for example,
00:19:18the eastern region needs a hospital
00:19:20for cancer patients. Instead of the Ministry of Health implementing it, I put the revenues
00:19:24that I wanted to implement in the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry allocates them to the Ministry of Health because it is the specialized
00:19:27authority. The same applies to roads and bridges. Well, we
00:19:31had an idea to build a political bridge in Deir ez-Zor,
00:19:34due to the water that caused the earthen bridge to collapse,
00:19:38and it was transporting oil on the bridge, and then we would build it.
00:19:41But the government's opinion was no, this is the job of the Ministry
00:19:44of Housing. It implements these projects. You put
00:19:48the money that you want to use to build this bridge in the budgets in the treasury, and the treasury
00:19:52allocates it to them for the project. And so on. So, we may have some
00:19:56community contributions, but not within the strategic projects
00:19:59of the state, which are determined by the specialized
00:20:02ministries. Regarding the water issue in Aleppo, I mentioned that the Tadi'if-Bab project is coming, God willing.
00:20:06And its implementation is coming, meaning
00:20:09its study has been approved, and currently,
00:20:12it is
00:20:15Regarding oil shale, it is a very important point, and we have studied it
00:20:20Jordan on it. I mean, the feasibility is that it will be more expensive for energy than
00:20:24oil and other things.
00:20:27as the honorable Deputy mentioned, it is an option for energy security
00:20:31to have alternative energy mixes,
00:20:34whether geothermal or oil shale.
00:20:39As for the issue of distribution
00:20:43and reaching those who deserve it, God willing, we talked about it through
00:20:47the governorates, and it will be distributed
00:20:50to those who deserve it. The Suwaydiya plant is operating, but with low efficiency,
00:20:54like other power plants. Again, we say the dilapidated infrastructure in
00:20:57Syria regarding high-voltage lines. Of course, Hasakah
00:21:01Governorate is currently cut off from the regional grid. We are currently working
00:21:04to connect the lines from the dams to Hasakah, and from Hasakah to Deir
00:21:08ez-Zor, so that we complete this loop
00:21:10between Hasakah and the dams, Hasakah,
00:21:15connection line
00:21:25HK N and the relationship with companies, like any
00:21:29investor, there is a contract that governs the relationship
00:21:32between us. It's called production-sharing agreements, which
00:21:36were signed with them. Gulf Sands had a previous
00:21:39contract, but we announced the Cairo agreement in
00:21:422012. Now they have submitted a request that they are ready to return,
00:21:46so we revised the contract, and they
00:21:49will resume their block
00:22:13we hosted the Minister because of
00:22:17a specific incident, which is the increase in fuel prices. It seems that most of it
00:22:20went to future projects.
00:22:24focused on the issue
00:22:27of numbers, but no one
00:22:32increase on the citizen. Today,
00:22:35the third tranche
00:22:37at 11,500.
00:22:41Today, a barrel is 200 liters, 2,300,000,
00:22:44meaning an employee buys
00:22:47a barrel of diesel with his salary and puts it away.
00:22:51This is to say nothing of transportation costs and food
00:22:54prices, which have risen by
00:22:5730% and 60%. As for agriculture,
00:23:00agriculture will collapse
00:23:03completely. Agriculture, because
00:23:07Hasakah, in the agricultural plow his land due to this
00:23:10increase. So, the
00:23:14truth is that the third tranche should not
00:23:17be at this price, as long as
00:23:36from the people of Rumailan. These appeals
00:23:40about the secondary school, when it's counted against you, see, colleague Akram, this
00:23:43secondary
00:23:44oil school.
00:24:14the liberation of Syria until today, your ministry has conducted
00:24:17many competitions for appointing
00:24:21petrochemical engineering graduates. There are
00:24:25appointment. The first is that the number of accepted
00:24:28candidates was very modest and did not
00:24:34graduates. The second, which is more serious and involves a constitutional
00:24:37violation, is that no female engineers were accepted.
00:24:41The number is zero for female petrochemical
00:24:44engineers. The question is, if your ministry's policy is not to employ
00:24:48female petrochemical engineering graduates,
00:24:52then why does the state even accept them in the baccalaureate
00:24:55competition for this specialization? And why
00:24:58does it allow families to pay
00:25:01for five years of their daughters' lives,
00:25:04effort, and expenses for them to graduate as engineers, and then the ministry tells them
00:25:08that their degree is undesirable, possibly because
00:25:13and this applies to
00:25:16The second question is why doesn't the Ministry, or why doesn't the Ministry
00:25:20cooperate with the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Higher
00:25:24Education to establish a national program? Of course, this is a message
00:25:27that all graduates entrusted me with: to have a national
00:25:31program for qualification and export of expertise.
00:25:57It's called the Price Stabilization Fund. It should have several
00:26:33Your Excellency, the Minister, when will
00:26:36the excessive
00:26:39drawing of water from the Zabadani plain, which
00:26:42has truly led, as
00:26:45the colleague mentioned, to the drying up of the Barada
00:26:48River, in addition to the decrease
00:26:52Zabadani, which threatens the entire Zabadani
00:26:55plain, meaning, truly, this is
00:26:59a very, very important matter. We
00:27:03kindly request from your Excellency, as you are
00:27:06specialized in this field, to find
00:27:10an alternative and quick solution. The most important
00:27:15work so that we do not reach
00:27:26the Minister, question: Is there a specialized government agency
00:27:29that assesses the economic impact of
00:27:33adjusting energy prices on productive and living
00:27:36sectors? And can we see this study?
00:27:39I found a quick recommendation: I wish there was
00:27:43a media spokesperson for the Ministry at every adjustment or any
00:27:47project that the Ministry undertakes. Today, the presentation you
00:27:51gave needs a lot of follow-up and a lot of work. So, any
00:27:55memorandum of understanding or contract, but there should
00:27:58be a media spokesperson, even weekly or twice a month.
00:28:02He should explain the work that
00:28:12It is clear, Your Excellency, the Minister, that the financial
00:28:14study you presented
00:28:16is available, and communication with the Ministry of Finance is very strong.
00:28:20I support Professor Abdul Razzaq's proposal, but
00:28:23the individuals within the pricing committee is not sufficient.
00:28:27We want to communicate, that is, with the Ministry of Social Affairs
00:28:31in a more profound way, because the issue is not limited to pricing
00:28:34mechanisms and, well, simple matters.
00:28:37And indeed, on Thursday, the Minister of Social Affairs
00:28:40and Labor told us that she was aware of the price increase, as were
00:28:44the citizens, and that the lists who need support
00:28:48are ready with her, and that she has not been
00:28:51contacted. Therefore, I ask for a mechanism
00:28:55for government communication, as a gap. I ask
00:28:58for it to be explained,
00:29:09of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. First, we mentioned a little while ago
00:29:13sectors, that is, if we want to say
00:29:16many industries, agriculture, vulnerable groups,
00:29:20and so on. But we, as the Ministry
00:29:24of Energy, have specific
00:29:27specializations: electricity, water, and oil, and our institutions are
00:29:30of an economic nature. We deal with profit and loss. These
00:29:34companies are the Syrian Petroleum Company, the
00:29:40this at the expense of the citizen,
00:29:43social affairs that will have a role, and I asked you for
00:29:46the data from the electricity
00:29:50met and sat down and talked about the issue,
00:29:53and it was not ready. If they have a database ready, it will greatly relieve us, but
00:29:57the governorates' social affairs directorates' data were not complete yesterday,
00:30:00as of yesterday. That is, the social affairs directorates in the governorates
00:30:04did not have complete data for the vulnerable groups.
00:30:07But is the Ministry of Energy supporting
00:30:10agriculture? Is the Ministry of Energy supporting such and such? From my point
00:30:14of view, since we are different
00:30:17in terms of perspective, not as an individual, as the Ministry
00:30:21of Energy, I deal with our institutions as economic
00:30:24institutions. And the state, every ministry.
00:30:27The Ministry of Agriculture wants to support, it buys
00:30:30diesel at the price I specified and goes and supports farmers
00:30:34at reduced prices, like other countries in the world. That is, the price
00:30:37of diesel in Turkey yesterday was 200 and two Turkish liras,
00:30:41that is, 2.1 dollars, exactly. Yesterday it was
00:30:45two dollars. Two dollars for the price
00:30:47of diesel. They don't support agriculture with the petroleum company. It goes
00:30:51and supports the farmers. The state
00:30:54sees from the diesel revenues that they were profitable at these
00:30:57prices a few days ago, they were profitable there.
