Canada Expects Increased Trade Jerusalem (JPFS) — The gov- ernment approved a bill which would breach the Israel Electric Corporation's power-supply mo- nopoly, amid scathing attacks by experts and politicians who say it does not go far enough. The bill, which was present- ed by Energy Minister Gonen Segev, calls for electricity pro- duction to be opened up for pri- vate manufacturers, who will be conceded 20 percent of local con- sumption. Half the new providers will produce power locally, while the other half will do so in neighbor- ing countries. In addition, a new public au- thority will determine and su- pervise the pricing of power for unprofitable market segments, write rules for the company's fi- nancial and technical reporting, and create standards for quali- ty of service. The new bill is aimed at reg- ulating the power sector's activi- ty following the expiration this spring of its 50-year-old franchise. The bill would be reconsidered a decade from its final legislation. Dr. Avi Ben-Bassat, Bank of Is- rael's head of research, insinuat- ed during the Cabinet's meeting that the bill all but leaves intact IEC's monopoly. Buying IEC stock will now be an unwise move on the part of foreign investors, Mr. Ben-Bas- sat reportedly told the Cabinet session. Earlier, Mr. Ben-Bassat said the IEC bill, like other in- frastructure-related legislation, has proven that labor unions can maneuver law-making to suit their interests. The IEC union has fought against any easing of its grip on Israel's power supply. Jerusalem (JPFS) — Trade be- tween Israel and Canada is ex- pected to grow significantly following the recent proposal for a free-trade agreement between the two countries, according to Ruth Zeisler, commercial coun- selor at the Canadian Embassy in Tel Aviv. The agreement, if approved by both governments, will establish a free-trade regime between Canada and Israel featuring full- tariff elimination on all manu- factured goods, agriculture and fish products. Both governments will be re- viewing the agreement in the up- coming months. Mr. Zeisler said the agreement will put Canada on "equal foot- ing" with the United States and the European Union, both of which have free-trade agree- ments with Israel. • "Canadian goods have been disadvantaged by tariffs," Mr. Zeisler said. 'The new agreement basically puts Canadian exports on a level playing field with U.S. and European products." Canada has a trade deficit with Israel, with exports totaling $140 million and imports at $180 mil- lion last year. Canada's exports to Israel last year increased 49 percent from 1994, while imports increased 39 percent.

The company also announced $25 million in sales, a 39 percent increase from $18 million in 1994. Commodore was established by IAI as a repair and mainte- nance station for airlines flying the South American route, in- cluding El Al. Commodore is expected to achieve $1 million in profits and $27 million in sales this year, the executives said. The company's director-gen- eral is Mordechai Hendel, while its board director is David Arzi, a deputy director-general at IAI. Executives said 70 percent of Commodore's expected sales for the year have already produced signed contracts with various airlines.
