Stock Market News Yamani expressed his confidence that Saudi Arabia would be able to attend the WTO ministerial meeting in Hong Kong in December after becoming a full member of the organization.

Stock Investing Software "Every WTO member country has the right to stop dealing with a member country for reasons related to national security and international relations," the Saudi Press Agency quoted Yamani as telling the Shoura.

Bush played a big role in accelerating Riyadh's WTO agreement with Washington. Fears among small Saudi firms at the international competition which WTO accession will bring are echoed by petrochemical producers in Europe who worry that cheap oil and gas give Saudi firms an unbeatable advantage. Diplomats say the Kingdom finally persuaded the 25-member EU this month that low prices for its petrochemical feed stocks are a natural advantage stemming from abundant oil resources rather than a case of market fixing.

Even though we have been negotiating for 10 years we didn't do anything to get ready," said Ihsan Bu-Hulaiga, a member of the Shoura Council.
