ECC decides to lower import bills, run power plants on LNG
The committee met at the Prime Minister Office (PMO) with Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi in the chair. The committee allowed the export of surplus urea to Sri Lanka besides extending the deadline of exporting 41,000 metric ton (MT) surplus urea till February 28, 2018. An additional quantity of 35,000 MT urea to be exported to Sri Lanka was also approved. The committee authorised the Central power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) to sign an interim agreement on revised payment terms for generation of RLNG by four Independent power Producers (IPPs). The committee approved the agreement to include the four IPPs M/s Saif power Ltd., M/s Orient power Ltd., M/s Sapphire Electric Company Ltd. and M/s Halmore power Generation Company Ltd. These IPPs have dual fuel plants, which can be operated on natural gas as primary fuel and High Speed Diesel (HSD) as secondary/alternative fuel. The operations of these IPPs on RLNG would result in significant cost saving each month. The ECC approved a proposal for allowing United Towel Exporters Limited to remit 8.425 million Euros from its special foreign currency account to acquire 70 percent shares of Vespo Group B V Netherlands. The ECC approved a proposal for extension in the date for applicability of reduced withholding tax rate at the rate of 0.4 percent for non-filers till June 30, 2018 under Section 236P of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. Later Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi directed the sports federations to come out of politics and strive for helping Pakistan win medals in next Olympics. ?It is matter of shame when the world sees the world?s fifth largest country not winning any medal in the Olympics,? he said while addressing the closing ceremony of the Second Quaid-e-Azam Inter Provincial Games held here at Sports Complex. The ceremony was also attended by Minister for Inter-Provincial Coordination Riaz Hussain Pirzada, Minister for Safron Lt Gen (Retd) Abdul Qadir Baloch and top officials of the Pakistan Sports Board. The prime minister congratulated the ministry and sports board for holding the event and winners of medals in the games and said besides winning medals, the real achievement was to take part in the sports representing their respective provinces. He said athletes must examine the existing standards of games in the world and should struggle to meet those standards. He said it was pleasing that such mega sports events were being held in the country consequent to the restoration of peace. It was due to the collective efforts of the army, government, police and the nation that led to organization of such activities. The prime minister recalled that earlier the sports event could not be held fearing the untoward incidents. After improvement of law and order now, the sports events had been held not only in Islamabad but Balochistan and Fata as well. He hoped that the ministry as well as the sports board would make these games a permanent feature to provide the athletes opportunities to exhibit their expertise. He said the government was trying to promote sports culture besides improving the infrastructure and facilities. He said due to the efforts of the minister and secretary concerned, Pakistan?s first sports university would be established shortly as the project had been approved. Abbasi hoped that the athletes would achieve further targets in their sports career. He said winning the medals was secondary as the real achievement was to take part in the games as it was the real asset for the athletes. Athletes from across the country won in total 574 medals.
