For Immediate Release
April 26, 2004
Iraq's Science and Technology Ministry
Iraq Fact of the Day
Iraqis are now in control of the Ministry of Science and
Technology. The Ministry is establishing computer and electronic
communication standards, providing computer training for government
employees, and planning information technology programs. The Ministry's
new Food and Environmental Safety Laboratory will collect and analyze
samples of foods, water, industrial waste, solid waste, and
pharmaceuticals to assure compliance with Iraqi and international
standards. These important services are back in Iraqi hands, and this
transfer marks another milestone on the path to Iraq's sovereignty.
