E-BULLION WARNING (JULY 2007) Due to numerous unanswered complaints, the Global Digital Currencies Association would like consumers and merchants to be aware that E-bullion.com closes and/or freezes accounts without any court order or reasonable justification, sometimes freezing customer funds forever. This unscrupulous policy makes E-bullion an unfavorable system for online commerce and for the safe and secure storage and transfer of funds. We recommend that E-bullion account holders switch to a different digital currency immediately in order to avoid frozen accounts and loss of funds, such as: GoldMoney - www.goldmoney.com Pecunix - www.pecunix.com Liberty Reserve - www.libertyreserve.com c-gold - www.c-gold.com PhoenixDollar - www.phoenixdollar.com

E-BULLION UPDATE (AUGUST 2007) We have just been informed that E-bullion.com is also listed with an F rating by the Council of Better Business Bureau, Inc., and unanswered complaints seem to be going back as far as 2005. Details can be found here, on their own website.

FRAUD LIST Ratings lists now also include a list of sites that may be fraudulent, showing the names and the reason for being listed. This list will be updated frequently when we become aware of new frauds.

NEW PLAQUES & LINKING CODES To counter the rise in numbers of sites that fraudulently display GDCA rating plaques and falsely claim to be members, we have a new linking system. All members are urgently advised to visit this page, and either paste the javascript of the pop-up window or the plain HTML code into their sites. All plaques are now being served from our machines, and all plaques link directly to the latest member profile page. Anyone clicking a link that does not open a valid profile page served from our machines, can be fairly certain to be dealing with an operator of questionable reliability, if not honesty.

Iraq Plans WTO Membership

Iraq plans to enact a business-friendly customs code and expects to join the World Trade Organisation (WTO) within two years despite the violence damaging its economy, the Iraqi trade minister said on Tuesday.

The government began formal negotiations with the WTO in May and is committed to changing laws that contradict the organisation's rules, Abdul Falah al-Sudani told Reuters.

"By 2008-2009 I expect that Iraq will be a full-fledged member," said Sudani, who is accompanying Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on a visit to Damascus to discuss improving political and economic ties with Syria.

"We have already received four queries about a number of regulations on the books and the ministries concerned are preparing a response," he said in an interview.

Sudani said the new tariffs, which will be WTO compliant, will average 5-15 percent.

"We don't want high rates. They may help shield local industry but will also isolate us economically," he said, adding that there are several legislative hurdles to pass before the new code becomes law.

Iraqi currently levies a flat 5 percent "reconstruction fee" on imports. The U.S.-led occupation administration, which took control of Iraq in 2003, scrapped the Saddam-era customs system.

Central bank figures show Iraq's imports fell to $20.9 billion last year compared with $23.5 billion in 2005. Exports, primarily of oil, rose to $30.5 billion from $23.7 billion over the same period.

Iraqis were among the Middle East's most affluent consumers before the United Nations imposed crushing sanctions in 1990 for the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq under Saddam Hussein.

Looting after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 destroyed Iraq's industrial base further, although an end to sanctions in the same year and more liquidity in the economy drove up demand for consumer goods.

"Many of our factories are idle and Iraq is importing everything from food to electrical equipment. Even if our production is restored, Iraq by nature is a large regional consumer market," Sudani said.

Traders who met the minister on his visit to Syria said lack of security is the major factor hampering trade, but that streamlining regulations could boost the flow of goods.
