The sources explained that the contracts will include articles and provisions to prevent employers from holding employees’ passports and prevent transferring employees to work for others unless they cancel their residency visas and depart the country, with an exception for doctors, engineers, managers and holders of university degrees. “The study also suggests granting employees special residency cards to be held by sponsors and used on departing the country through various exits to show sponsors’ approval,” explained the sources, noting that this would replace the retaining of passports, which is globally banned. Moreover, the sources said that the new contract will protect employees’ rights, namely financial ones, by man- dating remittances through local banks in order to docu- ment the process in case of disputes. The sources con- cluded that the study is still subject to discussions at the committee and other relevant ministries in order to help regulate expats’ residencies, the demographic structure, setting special quotas per nationality, prevent these quo- tas from increasing and prevent all kinds of manipulation and tampering with residency laws. News in brief OPEC delivering on agreed output cuts KUWAIT: The OPEC oil cartel has implemented more than 90 percent of its agreed output cuts aimed at curb- ing a glut on world markets, Kuwait’s oil minister said yesterday. OPEC and non-OPEC producers including Russia agreed late last year to reduce output by about 1.8 million barrels per day in a landmark deal that fol- lowed a sharp drop in oil prices. “OPEC compliance with the output cuts is excellent ... Compliance has reached 92 percent,” said Kuwaiti oil minister Essam Al-Marzouq, who chairs a committee tasked with monitoring the agreement. Non-OPEC producers had delivered on more than half of their pledged production reductions, he told reporters on the sidelines of a conference in Kuwait City. Marzouq attributed the relatively low non- OPEC implementation rate to previously agreed export commitments. (See Pages 5 & 21) Hamas hardliner elected as group’s Gaza chief GAZA CITY: Hamas elected in secret a hardline member of the Palestinian Islamist movement’s armed wing as its new Gaza leader yesterday, indi- cating a tougher stand against longtime adversary Israel. Yahya Sinwar was elected to head the Hamas political office in the Gaza Strip, officials from the party said. An influential military figure, Sinwar represents for some the hardest line within the Islamist movement which has fought three wars against Israel since 2008. He will succeed politician Ismail Haniya and becomes the second most important figure in the party after Khaled Meshaal. Sinwar was held in Israeli jail for more than 20 years until 2011, when he was released along with more than 1,000 other Palestinian pris- oners in exchange for Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier captured five years earlier. He has since become a senior figure in the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing.

  • Erik Guay Becomes Oldest World Champion in Alpine Skiing History
    Erik Guay becomes oldest world champion in Alpine skiing history Associated PressFeb 8, 2017, 7:38 AM EST ST. MORITZ, Switzerland (AP) — Erik Guay led the veteran Canadians over the favored Norwegians in the super-G on Wednesday and became the oldest gold medalist at the world ski championships. The 35-year-old Guay beat Olympic super-G champion Kjetil Jansrud by 0.45 seconds – his first victory in almost three years. Guay triumphed less than two weeks after a spectacular crash, when he flew 60 meters (yards) in the air off a jump in a treacherous World Cup downhill. “It’s incredible. I’m as happy as can be,” said Guay, putting his win down to “forgetting about everything and having a fun race.” It was a banner day for Canada after Norway seemed sure to also take bronze in an event it dominates. But late-starting Manny Osborne-Paradis edged World Cup champion Aleksander Aamodt Kilde off the podium. On his 33rd birthday, Osborne-Paradis claimed his first career championship medal, trailing Guay by 0.51. He was serenaded by a finish-area crowd, and later was hugged by his mother. Guay added super-G gold to his downhill title from the 2011 worlds in Garmisch- Partenkirchen. It was at the same German course last month that he wiped out in a twisting fall. “I was lucky to walk away with fairly minor injuries,” said Guay, competing at his seventh worlds. “I can see (the crash) on TV no problem, but in my head I can’t really remember going off the jump and having that fear.” There were more jumps to handle Wednesday on a hill that launched racers airborne, testing their balance and ability to improvise through an unfamiliar gate-setting.
