Santo Domingo.- The economic recovery, purchases abroad by companies to stock up for Christmas and efforts to thwart the undervaluing of merchandise has led to a substantial increase in the Customs Agency’s (DGA) revenue, said its director Rafael Camilo.
“The Christmas inventories have been providing (RD$) 50 to 60 million daily for Customs” the official said, stressing that revenue has also improved as the result of its efforts to modernize and the new controls against undervaluing, which he sees as one of the Agency’s toughest problems.
“We’ve created a team of technicians which updates the values of merchandise as a mechanism to bolster the fight against tax evasion which takes place through the undervaluing,” With that in mind, he said “we permanently conduct audits, we go to the companies and we audit.”

More political lies. The economy is doing horribly right now. Our family has a logbook with all of our customers credit to prove it. Looking back on previous years last year and this year we have the most money owed to our store ever. How can we turn away good people who have shopped in our store for over 10 years but are falling on troubling times. We also have to pay for our goods and it is getting hard.

Blutarsky--who was blaming bush on this forum? you obviously, are a conservative, oh and that feeling that you are getting...you know the one one that keeps on telling you that people are blaming Bush...that is called voters remorse. Do I need to remind you we HOW ever got into this mess. Traditional conservative views are the reasons, you know laisez-faire- no government over sight, cutting taxes while we got into two wars( really 3 Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq) and the numerous loans we took from the Chinese. Why is everyone blaming bush you ask...it isn't because he was one of the best presidents we've had in modern times ( sarcasm for those of you stupid enough to agree with that last sentence)

And bush a hero of the people. Taking a good, working government with no deficit and turning it into a nightmare. He purposely devalued the dollar saying that it was good for trade ( which it is, but if we didn't cut taxes in a time of prosperity we would not of needed loans to fight wars). All you can say about Obama is that he's a zero ( I am afraid to ask you what you think of yourself if you believe such an accomplished man can be a "zero" even if you don't agree with his policy you can at least agree on that.) You are judging a man that has been in his position for nine months. I am judging his counterpart that was in office for 8 illegitimate years. I am not going to challenge your Intelligence ( for all I know you could be Junot Diaz ) but my responses and your response, mirrors the type of presidents we support. Your comments are filled with immature name callings and mine are with facts. Looking forward to your response

From: United States
The economic disaster was started by the United States. It did intertwine with other economies but that was mostly in the Banking sector. So naturally the people that started the problems are going to be the last to get out. Also the United States GDP grew by 3.5 percent in the third quarter, signaling that we are nearing the end of the recession. Also, Bush economic solutions were jokes. Do you remember the stimulus checks, no one ever complained because it was free money, but at the end of it all, it was a real dry joke.

"
However, since Colombia and the U.S. signed a deal in late July to allow the presence of thousands of U.S. military personnel on seven Colombian bases, Venezuela has vowed to replace its imports from Colombia with imports from the rest of South America.
Before going into Friday's meeting with Brazilian officials, Venezuelan Commerce Minister Eduardo Samán said Venezuela could replace as much as 60% of its imports from Colombia within six months through deals with Argentina, Brazil, and the member countries of the Caribbean and South American integration bloc known as ALBA.

Pope Benedict XVI's Visit and Silent Prayer
Pope Benedict XVI visited the Sultan Ahmed Mosque on 30 November 2006 during his visit to Turkey. It marks only the second papal visit in history to a Muslim place of worship. During his tour, the pontiff turned towards Mecca in a gesture of Muslim prayer and conducted "Silent Prayer." Having removed his shoes, the Pope paused for a full two minutes, eyes closed in prayer, standing side-by-side with Mustafa Çagrici, the Mufti of Istanbul and Emrullah Hatipoglu, the Imam of the Blue Mosque. [7]
The Pope “thanked divine Providence for this” and said: “May all believers identify themselves with the one God and bear witness to true brotherhood.” The Pontiff augured that Turkey “will be a bridge of friendship and collaboration between East and West” and he thanked the Turkish people “for the cordiality and sympathy” they showed him throughout his stay, saying, “he felt loved and understood

Teachers flunk
The deficiencies in the country's educational standards are now becoming even more apparent. A recent recruitment drive for new public school staff held 19 to 21 October showed that of 2,534 teachers who applied for 2,584 academic posts, only 594 qualified, most with scores of 50 and 60%. Deputy Minister Nelsa Chavez said that of those tested only 23.4% scored the minimum 60 points on tests. The Ministry needed to find school principals, but of 319 who applied for the posts, only 35 were qualified. For assistant principal, only 19 of 219 passed the tests. Of 852 teachers who applied to teach in pre-school, only 187 passed the test, in elementary school of 169 who applied, only 57 passed. For physical education teachers, of 384 applicants, only 132 made the minimum scores. Of 514 applicants for school counselor posts, only 160 were accepted.

It does seem very strange to suggest that economic recovery is fueled by a rise in imports just because more duties are being collected ..even if it is now the correct amount
