A NEW SERVICE FOR EMPLOYERS It has recently been announced that the Ministry of Interior has provided a new service for employers to complete visa procedures through Qatar Visa Centre’s ‘QVC’, which is to be operated in eight selected countries during the first phase. The first QVC will function in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and will facilitate the visa procedures of expatriates while they are still in their home country. Through an integrated electronic system, QVC completes the procedures of medical check-ups, fingerprinting and biometrics. In addition, the expatriate will be able to sign and review their contracts. The first centre in Sri Lanka opened on October 12th, with the aim being to open 20 service centres across eight countries, adding Indonesia, Nepal,Tunisia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and the Philippines. Initially, the employer has to submit a visa application through the website of the Qatar Ministry of Interior or through the Metrash app. Identifying and registering the person coming to Qatar to work will verify the eligibility of the expatriate to enter Qatar according to the type of job and their nationality. Following this, the Ministry of Interior will issue an approval and generate a reference number

for the expatriate. As soon as the expatriate passes all of the required examinations and signs the contract, a work visa will be issued and the expatriate can start work immediately upon arrival in Qatar. This new system will save an enormous amount of time and effort, with one single channel for the entire process. What’s more, it will protect the rights of employers through the documentation of employment contracts signed by both parties, and be a highly transparent and responsible visa system that will ensure accuracy in completion of recruitment procedures. With regard to expatriates, it will it will ensure transparency and a verified job contract, protecting both their welfare and their rights.The new service will document the job contract in the home country and ensure the fitness and eligibility of the applicant. The basic purpose of this initiative is to ease recruitment procedures and protect the rights of expatriates, ensuring their safety and security. The whole process will be simplified, smooth and effective.

SIEMENS TO BUILD TURNKEY COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT IN GERMANY Siemens has signed an agreement with STEAG GuD Herne on the turnkey construction of Herne 6 600MW combined cycle power plant with district heat extraction. Steam will also be extracted and the thermal energy will be used for the district heating grid of Germany’s Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region. This will be the first single power plant unit to provide 400MW of (thermal) district heat with combined cycle operation. The overall fuel efficiency of the natural gas used will be more than 85%, making Herne 6 one of the most efficient and most environmentally friendly plants in the world. Investment in Herne 6 is expected to be in the mid-triple-digit euro range. Siemens, as general contractor, will build the power plant on the site of an existing plant owned by STEAG in the North Rhine-Westphalian town of Herne. Critical components for the plant will be manufactured in Germany – the steam turbine and generator in Mülheim and the

H-class gas turbine at the factory in Berlin. The new gas-fired CHP plant will begin operations in 2022 and is expected to generate electricity for the Rhine-Ruhr region with district heat at the same time. Siemens and STEAG have also entered into a long-term service agreement. Siemens power and gas division CEO Willi Meixner said: “We’re very pleased that we were able to land this project in a difficult market environment. This success also shows that our strategy of developing projects in close collaboration with our customers is working. “Environmentally friendly, gas-fired CHP plants such as Herne 6 can play an important role in further implementing the transition to a new energy mix in Germany.Therefore for further projects already being planned it is enormously important to provide the legal security needed.” STEAG management board chairman Joachim Rumstadt said: “We are convinced that Siemens is the right partner for this important and pioneering project. As we

know from our successful collaboration in earlier projects, Siemens has excellent

expertise in the area of power plant construction.”

LINKCITY SECURES PLANNING APPROVAL FOR THIRD PHASE OF HALLSVILLE QUARTER PROJECT Property development firm Linkcity has secured planning approval for its third phase of development at the Hallsville Quarter in Canning Town, London. Designed by Hawkins-Brown, the project will include features 620 flats, including 50 care home units. It will also include further 118,404ft² of development, including retail, leisure, offices and NHS health centre. Linkcity is planning to complete the third phase of development in 2023. The Hallsville Quarter project is comprised of shops, offices, leisure, hotel, community uses, student accommodation, 1,148 flats and basement car parking. Montagu Evans has advised Linkcity in relation to the project. Montagu Evans partner Simon Marks said: “This is an important application for Newham, securing a further phase of development that will bring new amenities to the area, including an NHS health centre and the borough’s first extra care homes. “These updates to the original 2012 consented masterplan will help landowner

and development partner LB Newham better meet local needs with more homes, including affordable housing, in a well-planned development close to public transport, shops, health and leisure facilities.” Part of the £3.7billion Canning Town and Custom House Regeneration Programme, the Hallsville Quarter project will reconnect the areas north and south of the A13 flyover, including Canning Town Corner with Barking Road and Rathbone Market. Measuring six hectares, the Hallsville Quarter will be completed in five phases. The project will deliver 1,100 homes with different tenures. Hallsville Quarter project will also include the development of 323,000ft² of leisure and retail space, as well as more than 32,000ft² of space for community facilities. The project will feature public spaces, pedestrian links and facilities for cyclists new, as well as 1,100 secure parking spaces. The construction on the second phase of Hallsville Quarter was started

in early 2015. It is said to be the major regeneration project that creates a new district centre for Canning Town. Hallsville Quarter’s second phase included shops, cafés, restaurants and 196-bedroom IBIS hotel, as well as

additional public spaces, secure car parking for around 300 cars and facilities for cyclists. Linkcity, which is part of Bouygues UK, is engaged in the development of multiple major projects across the UK.

ADB TO FUND NEW POWER TRANSMISSION PROJECT IN BANGLADESH The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will provide more than $357million for the development of two power lines in Bangladesh as part of efforts to help the government achieve the national target of electricity for all by 2021. The investment comprises $350million ADB loan, $7million grant from the Japan Fund for the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JFJCM) to fund energy-efficient conductors, and $500,000 grant from the Republic of Korea e-Asia and Knowledge Partnership Fund (EAKPF) to promote socially inclusive growth with gender equality. ADB was earlier involved in the Bangladesh power sector, including the recently approved Rupsha 800MW Combined Cycle Power Plant in the southwest region, to improve the transmission system by providing more efficient power transfer to the load centres of the southern and western zones. The Southwest Transmission Grid Expansion Project builds on ADB’s earlier

work in the country’s power sector. Under the project, a 126km 230kV transmission line will be constructed from Barisal to Faridpur; and a 104km 400kV transmission line from Bogra to Rohanpur, along with substations, transformers and associated extensions and connections. New type of high temperature conductors will be used in the new transmission lines, which will allow more power transfer at lower energy losses. These conductors have less resistance to power flow, higher power transferring capacity, and operate more reliably in tropical weather, besides helping to minimise right-of-way requirements. The new conductors also reduce carbon dioxide emissions compared to conventional transmission conductors that are used in Bangladesh, contributing to climate change mitigation. This climate change mitigation accounts for $93million of the investment, comprising $86million from the ADB loan and $7million from the JFJCM grant.

Under the EAKPF grant, the project will provide funds for a scholarship programme that will support women’s access to higher education and boost their job opportunities in the electricity sector.

The government will contribute $174.5million toward the $532million cost of the project, which is expected to be completed at the end of June 2023.

DAR AL SALAM MALL TO BUILD 9 CINEMAS AND AN ENTERTAINMENT ZONE Dar Al Salam Mall is set to build nine cinemas and an entertainment zone on its rooftop, aimed at providing Doha residents with diverse range of offerings, the mall’s operations manager Zahid Iqbal has told. “We are planning to bring a one-of-itskind entertainment on an 18,000sqm area, including a beautiful garden,” said Iqbal, while showing a blueprint of the mall’s expansion plan. “It is a huge lease area, half for the cinemas and (the other half) for an entertainment zone for shoppers and mallgoers.” He noted that Dar Al Salam Mall is the first mall in the country to have a ‘green park’ on its rooftop but had to be closed due to a water leakage, removing trucks of soil, grass and various kinds of plants. According to Iqbal, the problem has been fixed and the mall is ready to bring the garden back for residents and visitors to enjoy. Part of the project, he added, also includes doubling the number of parking spaces

Built by Dar Al Salam Mall, the mosque also has a Qur’an education system. Despite the blockade on Qatar, Iqbal stressed that the mall continues to expand its operations without any of its stores leaving or closing until today. “We are doing very well and we received good footfall every day and during the recent Eid al-Adha holidays,” he said. “We expect an average of 20,000 visitors per day.” “Dar Al

Salam Mall is appealing to many residents due to its good mix of popular brands, and other food and beverage offerings (restaurants and coffee shops),” Iqbal pointed out. “People keep coming because of the calm, peaceful and safe atmosphere here.”

In partnership with Qatar Tourism Authority, he said the mall hosts numerous entertainment and cultural performances during Eid holidays and similar festivities and holidays in the country.

QATAR PLANS TO INVEST BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN GERMANY Qatar plans to invest billions of dollars more in Germany and will broaden its focus to the country's medium

sized companies, business newspaper Handelsblatt said in a report due to be published on Monday.

Citing diplomatic and company sources, the paper said that the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) and private sector

players would be looking at Germany's "Mittelstand" manufacturing companies. "We see Germany as a key player in the world economy and are looking at the German market with great optimism," Handelsblatt quoted Qatar's Minister of Finance Ali Sharif al-Emadi as saying. "Our delegation will be announcing big new investments," he said in an interview in the Handelsblatt report ahead of a Qatar Germany Business and Investment Forum in Berlin on. Qatar, the world's biggest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), has shareholdings in companies including Volkswagen, Deutsche Bank, Siemens, Hochtief and SolarWorld. Handelsblatt calculated that they jointly amounted to $20 billion. Al-Emadi said Qatar was happy with its investments, despite having incurred some losses from Solarworld and Deutsche Bank engagements. "We have a lot of stamina, and that goes for all sectors," he said. Germany's economy ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request to comment.

IDEAL STANDARD OFFERS DOWN-TO-EARTH TIPS TO SAVE WATER AT HOME

Water is a precious commodity and today, more than ever before, increasingly erratic weather patterns, population increases and changes in lifestyle have put pressure on our water supplies. Hence, it is important that we use water carefully. Ideal Standard, one of the leading providers of innovative bathroom solutions,is a keen believerin taking practical steps nowthatwill ensure there is enough water to go around for years to come. With building regulations now emphasising the importance of being green, water conservation has also become a vital factor in the final design of bathrooms. The fact is almost 49% of water used in a home is in the bathroom. Backed by its emphasis on revolutionary technologies Ideal Standard offers ground-breaking products that conserve water and promote efficiency. One outstanding example is theIdealraincollection of shower systems and kits.The precision-designed flow engine delivers optimal spray proficiency, while the easy-to-use controls and high and lowpressure compatibility helps maintain the

right rate of water flow. Its clever design helps reduce water consumption without compromising on comfortor performance.In fact, Idealrain head showers have a 12l/min flow rate only, while Idealrain handsprays go up tojust 8l/min flow rate. Isn’t that great for conserving water? Ideal Standards prides itself in offering great ranges of mixers and taps with clever water-saving features. Connect Airmixers, known for their minimalistic and slim line interiors, combines precision engineering with a notable saving on water consumption and therefore bills.Tonic II, Tesi and Ceraflexbathroom mixers combine superior function, aesthetics and water saving characteristics, performingflawlessly and saving money in the long run. Idealspray ablution faucets function impeccably at 4l/ min flow rate. Another water conservation breakthrough is Ideal Standard’s advanced AquaBlade®flush technology. Unlike other flushing systems, AquaBlade®is an engineered system of channels that creates a cascading wall of water,

LOCAL NEWS 13 which gives optimum water flow covering every inch of the ceramic. This advanced engineeringallows flushing at the extremely low level of 4,5/3l,delivering nevertheless a remarkably clean toilet bowl. As an innovative company Ideal Standard directs its efforts are towards meeting both consumer and environment needs. The result is a more satisfying bathroom experience for customers. The company believes thateach and every one can do small changes and save water now, so we can all prevent more extreme measures needing to be taken later.

Handy water-saving tips from Ideal Standard: • Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. Water comes out of the average faucet at around 11 litres per minute.

Don’t let all that water go down the drain while you brush. • Fix your leaks. Dripping taps are hugely wasteful - losing around one full bathtub of water every 6 days. They are often simple to fix. • Cut your showers shortfor some serious water savings.Cutting just one minute off your shower can save 8-16 litres each time. That’s around 24,000 litres a year saved by a family of four. Choose Idealrain handspray with 8l/min flow rate and use 57% less water compared to a regular handspray. • Choose efficient fixtures. Like installing Ideal Standard mixers that have only 5l/ min flow rate and ultra-low-flush toilets. Also look for water efficient dishwashers and washing machines. • Keep an eye on your bill to spot leaks.

If your water bill goes up suddenly, there’s a good chance that there’s a leak somewhere. Call in a plumber to check your lines to save water --and cash! • Don’t run the dishwasher or washing machine until it’s full. Those half-loads add up to many litres of wasted water. Filling just one heavy load to the washing machine can save 5 litres each time. • If you are hand-washing dishesmake sure you use water sparingly by turning off the tap at regular intervals instead of letting it run the whole time that you’re scrubbing. • Rinse vegetables in a full sink or pan of water. • Water outdoor plants in the early morning.This way you’ll need less water, since cooler morning temperatures mean losing less water to evaporation.

We believe that together we become stronger and hence we can all play our part in saving water. As a leading provider of innovative bathroom solutions, Ideal Standard continues to design and manufacture leading-edge bathroom solutions, being a frontrunner when it comes to revolutionary water conservation technology Headquartered in Dubai, UAE, Ideal Standard Gulf covers the Middle East region in collaboration with esteemed business partners across the different countries.

Regrettably, the current market has been experiencing a dip that started in early 2016 when the oil price fell to record lows. The market challenges that were faced in 2016 grew in 2017 following the political standoff between Qatar and its neighbours, and are still ongoing in 2018. As a result, Medgulf ’s growth in 2017, whilst maintaining forecasted revenues, was hampered due to the limited number

With in excess of 25 years of experience, Intergroup has acquired substantial knowledge and know-how to ensure the successful development of its partnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; businesses in the country. It all began when it started representing foreign entities involved in the development of the North Gas Field, which makes Intergroup something of a pioneer in this field. Since its inception, Intergroup has organically grown in line with the growth of the State of Qatar. Along with the rapid expansion of the country, it has seized many opportunities to diversify its portfolio, opening up to a wide new range of industries. Moreover, over the years Intergroup has facilitated a number of local services for the implementation of the Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement (EPSA) for

Block 5 offshore Qatar, granted to Maersk Oil in 1992. Intergroup has a long history of being involved in major private and public projects. Intergroup has also built up a strong and extensive network that is used to interconnect its group companies with a potential client, suppliers, and/or third parties. Most importantly, it believes in a long-lasting relationship, where both parties benefit from the partnership. Today, Intergroup has grown to become one of Qatarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading diversified service organisations, with medium and large

companies contributing to the economic success and visibility of the State of Qatar.

A Full Basket of Services Intergroup offers clients and partners a broad array of services, including partnership and company formation, jointventures, and service agency agreements.

Intergroup facilitate administrative procedures, and guide foreign businesses all the way from the implementation of the company through to your day-today operations. By forming a new company in Qatar, businesses will be establishing a Limited Liability Company, which means they will have the opportunity to import, export and sell throughout the country.

Joint-Ventures Intergroup has been developing jointventures with multinationals from all over the world for more than 25 years. By creating an alliance and combining individual strengths, it is able to easily manage and overcome risks and uncertainty in a country that is growing at an exponential pace, and therefore constantly adapt its rules and regulations to facilitate global business transactions. Thanks to its expertise in the marketplace and its highly experienced and qualified team, Intergroup can help to transform a business new to Qatar into a maturing concern. Forming a joint-venture also means that Intergroup owns 51% of the shares, allowing it, if desired, to be involved in the day-today management to strengthen the decisionmaking process and reduce the risks to which the joint-venture may be exposed.

Service Agency Agreement For companies and organisations looking for an agent to represent them in Qatar, and do not plan in importing, exporting or selling within the country, then a Service Agency Agreement (SAA) could be the perfect solution. In this case, Intergroup will represent the foreign company, providing advice and the necessary resources that will allow the client to explore the market and start doing business. As soon as the company begins to enjoy strong business ties in Qatar, it is possible to then transform the SAA into a different type of partnership or a jointventure, ensuring that the client company is able to reach its full potential within Qatar.

Big Names Partners Overseas companies that have taken advantage of Intergroup’s unique portfolio of skills and talents include such blue-chip names as Det Norske Veritas Germanischer Lloyd (DNV – GL) (Norway); Attikat (Greece); BK Gulf (UK); Dutco McConnell Dowell (Australia); Clavon Engineering (Singapore); Hepworth PME Qatar (UK); Maersk Qatar Maritime Service (Denmark); Culligan (USA); and Xeless (Germany).
