AEROLINEAS ARGENTINAS: Refuses to Give in to APLA
-------------------------------------------------
Aerolineas Argentinas confirmed on July 7 its firm position of
not yielding to the pilot's strike organized and carried out by
a group of union leaders of the Air Line Pilots Association -
Asociacion de Pilotos de Lineas Aereas (APLA).
The strike, according to the Company, is an irresponsible
measure far and away from any attitude of dialogue, which
virtually took as hostages more than 60,000 trusting Company
investors.
Aerolineas Argentinas states that it is open to negotiations,
but is not giving up before unfair and ill-timed claims of a
minority sector whose real objective is to destabilize the
Company.
In the face of the announcement made by APLA Chairman Jorge
Perez Tamayo of a 48-hour pilot strike demanding a 40% salary
restructuring, Aerolineas Argentinas states the following:
- It is a coercive measure taken against the Company by a group
of APLA leaders, measure that is not supported by most of the
Company pilots.
- The 40% raise claim is inadmissible, since Company pilots
receive salaries well above the average in other sectors of
Aerolineas, they are the highest salaries paid in the Argentine
airline market, and they have been adjusted.
- The aim of the APLA leaders is to destabilize the Company
with goals that go beyond the mentioned raise for their members.
- During the last few weeks, supervised by the Ministry of
Labor, APLA leaders held conciliatory meetings with Company
directors, showing in all cases fierce positions aimed at
delaying and/or canceling any type of arrangement. In no case
any conciliatory position was sensed, on the contrary, there
were noticed speculative and blackmail maneuvers against the
Company, with the sole intention of implementing drastic
measures precisely during the weekend when winter holidays
start.
- With this irresponsible action, APLA leaders, led by Mr. Sr
P‚rez Tamayo, are taking more than 60 thousand passengers as
hostages, passengers that between next Friday and Sunday are
scheduled to take domestic, regional and international flights.
-Aerolineas Argentinas confirms its firm position of not
yielding to pressure, coercive actions or blackmail by certain
leaders who do not have the support of their represented
workers. Likewise, it reserves the right to act before the
administrative and judicial authorities in claim of any type of
damage that might be brought about by the irresponsible action
taken by APLA leaders.

AGUAS ARGENTINAS: Submits Final Proposal to Uniren
--------------------------------------------------
Water utility Aguas Argentinas, controlled by French water giant
Suez, has submitted to the Argentine government's contract
renegotiation unit (Uniren) its final and definite proposal for
the renegotiation of its contract.
The Company's board of directors warned that if no agreement is
reached with the government by the next board meeting, scheduled
for July 26, it would "be obliged to consider other courses of
action",
That "other course of action" means a Suez departure, said a
person familiar with the negotiations, who added that July 26 is
truly the Company's final, make-or-break date.
Aguas Argentinas declined to provide details on the proposal's
terms. But according to local daily La Nacion, the Company's
board said it could accept that its rates would not be raised
until 2006, but in return requested a subsidy until year-end to
run the concession. The subsidy would be ARS100 million - ARS125
million (US$35mn-44mn).
The government has been loathe to grant a rate hike to Aguas
Argentinas, given the political unpopularity of raising costs
for residents while roughly half of the country still lives in
poverty. President Nestor Kirchner told a crowd at a January
speech in Buenos Aires province that Aguas Argentinas "cared
only about its own profits at the cost of all of you...it is
crazy that we're going to increase (rates) - first let them give
water to the people."
An added complication is that with important congressional
elections coming up in October, political sensitivity is running
especially high and Kirchner won't want to appear as if he's
backing down against a multinational utility company.
ANTARTIDA 2000: Debt Payments Halted, Moves to Reorganize

TELECOM: To Enter Mobile Market By Yearend
------------------------------------------
In an effort to generate revenues to compensate for the drop in
the fixed telephony area, state-owned telco Colombia
Telecomunicaciones (Telecom) will enter the mobile market by
December this year, reports Business News Americas.
Telecom is looking at three ways to enter the market. First, to
become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) by using other
operators' mobile networks to offer mobile telephony under the
Telecom brand.
Second, to act as a reseller for other mobile operators. This
way, current mobile operators would be able to use Telecom's
sales network that includes over 5,000 sales points in Colombia.
Finally, to merge the Company's operations with local operator
ETB and with the new firm resulting from the separation of
Medell¡n-based utility company EPM's telecoms operations.
If none of these options works out, Telecom will launch the
mobile offering itself.
The government earlier revealed plans to directly award the
country's fourth mobile license to Telecom.
Telecom was liquidated in July 2003 and its assets were taken
over by Colombia Telecomunicaciones, which continues to use the
Telecom brand name.

* EL SALVADOR: IMF to Deepen Dialogue With Authorities
------------------------------------------------------
International Monetary Fund (IMF) Deputy Managing Director
Agust¡n Carstens made the following statement in San Salvador on
July 7, 2005:
"This is my first visit to El Salvador as Deputy Managing
Director of the Fund, and it is a great pleasure for me to be
here. Today, I had the privilege of meeting with President Elias
Antonio Saca and his economic team, including the Technical
Secretary to the Presidency Eduardo Zablah and Finance Minister
Guillermo Lopez Suarez. I also had very productive meetings with
key representatives of Congress, political parties, bankers,
entrepreneurs, and civil society. This visit has provided a
valuable opportunity for us at the Fund to deepen the dialogue
with the Salvadorian authorities.
"El Salvador's strong record of economic reforms since the early
1990s has brought major benefits in terms of macroeconomic
stability, improved social conditions, and access to financial
markets. The country's commitment to an outward-oriented,
market-based development strategy was reaffirmed by its early
ratification of the Central Amedrica Free Trade Agreement
(CAFTA) with the United States, as the first country to have
done so. Nevertheless, the economy continues to face important
challenges: Growth has lagged relative to other, more dynamic
emerging market economies, and activity has been recently
further dampened by the recent sharp increase in world oil
prices and strong competition from Asia. And, although official
dollarization has brought important benefits, it is also a very
demanding policy framework that requires very sound supporting
macro and structural policies.
"I was reassured by the clear recognition among everybody I met
that El Salvador needs to grow faster, reduce poverty further,
and lower vulnerabilities against shocks. In particular, there
was broad agreement on the need for fiscal consolidation to set
to public debt/GDP ratio on a firm downward path while
strengthening key social and infrastructure programs. In this
regard, I welcomed and encouraged the authorities' efforts to
build a broad national consensus on needed reforms to strengthen
the revenue effort and contain non-priority spending.
"The government's structural reform agenda to strengthen
productivity and competitiveness should help raise El Salvador's
growth potential in the context of the official dollarization
regime. In particular, I welcomed plans to further strengthen
the banking system, broaden the role of the private sector in
infrastructure, and introduce reforms to improve the business
climate, enhance human capital, and strengthen institutions.
Implementation of this agenda will support and complement
further trade and financial integration, including under CAFTA."
"Overall, El Salvador has a clear potential to achieve sustained
rapid growth and social progress in the years ahead. It is now
important that all segments of society work together to
implement the reforms needed to realize this potential. I
assured the President that the IMF looks forward to continuing
its close relationship with El Salvador, and we stand ready to
support the country's efforts to meet the challenges ahead."

DYOLL GROUP: Meeting With Creditors Postponed to July 29
--------------------------------------------------------
Court appointed provisional liquidator of Dyoll Insurance
Company, Keith Hartley Cooper, announced that the date for the
meeting of the 6,000 creditors of the Company has been reset to
July 28 at the Jamaica Conference.
"Notices will be published in the press with the information
necessary to enable policy holders of Dyoll, third party
claimants and other creditors in Jamaica, the Cayman and
elsewhere to submit their claims and vote at that meeting,"
Cooper said.
The meeting had been originally set for July 4 at the same venue
to consider the appointment of a 'liquidator', a position that
insolvency practitioners from leading accounting firms are
showing keen interest in. The meeting will also consider whether
Cooper himself should be given the responsibility to wind up the
insurance company.
Creditors now have until noon on July 26 to submit their claims
against Dyoll.
"Creditors who do not put in their claims in accordance with the
notices that will be published, will not be able to participate
in voting to determine who is to be appointed to wind up the
company," said Cooper.
"Any creditor failing to claim early might also not benefit from
a payout by the liquidator when appointed."

GRUPO IUSACELL: Analysts Skeptical of TV Mobile Service
-------------------------------------------------------
Mobile operator Grupo Iusacell has earmarked US$21 million to
develop a sophisticated service for cell phone users in Mexico,
reports Business News Americas.
Iusacell's data manager Carlos Silva revealed that the Company
plans to develop what it claims will be the first television
service for cell phones in Mexico.
The service, which is due to become available at the end of the
year, allows a subscriber to view six channels: Fashion TV,
Turner Cartoons, ABC News, Comedy Time and TV Azteca's channels
7 and 13.
Meanwhile, analysts are concerned that Mexicans may not find
this service attractive considering the cost, which is MXN100
(US$9.30) a month. This could result to a negative impact on
Iusacell's revenues.
"I think it's a good [development for Iusacell] but I don't
think that 99% of Mexicans can afford, not just getting the
handset, but paying for the service," said Jack Deino, analyst
with APS Financial Corporation.
"I think that where most money is going to be made is in
exploiting the C, D and E class subscriber, which is middle and
lower class subscribers that use wireless telephony as a
substitution to fixed line," Deino added.
SATMEX: Asks Court to Dismiss Involuntary Petition
--------------------------------------------------
Satelites Mexicanos, S.A. dec C.V., (Satmex) asks the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to
dismiss the involuntary chapter 11 petition filed by a group of
secured and unsecured noteholders holding in excess of $379
million of the Debtor's outstanding notes.
The Debtor tells the Court that substantially all of its assets
and operations are located in Mexico and that it has no offices
or employees in the United States. The Debtor said it has de
minimis assets in the United States consisting of less than
$500,000 in cash used to retain its professionals. Satmex wants
the Court to dismiss the case because the majority of its non-
bondholder creditors are located in Mexico. Also, substantially
all of Satmex's contracts and obligations are governed by
Mexican law or laws of countries othern than the United States.
Satmex's principal indebtedness includes:
(i) $320 million in principal amount of high yield bonds
due November 2004, issued on Feb. 2, 1998, between
Satmex and The Bank of New York as Indenture Trustee;
and
(ii) $203.4 million in principal amount of senior secured
floating rate notes due June 2004, issued on March 4,
1998, between Satmex and Citibank, N.A., as Indenture
Trustee.
As of May 25, 2005, the full principal amount and certain
accrued and unpaid interest remained outstanding on the high
yield bonds and the floating rate notes.
Menoscabo Default
In 1997, Firmamento Mexicano, S. de R.L. de C.V., a joint
venture between Loral Space & Communication, Ltd., and
Principia, S.A. de C.V., consummated an acquisition of 75% of
the then-issued outstanding capital stock of Satmex from the
Mexican government. As a result, Satmex became a wholly owned
direct subsidiary of Servicios Corporativos Satelitales, S.A. de
C.V., which is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of Firmamento.
The remaining 25% of Satmex's outstanding capital stock, at the
time, was retained by the Mexican government.
In connection with the purchase, Servicios agreed to pay the
Mexican government $125.1 million plus interest, which is
reflected in a promissory note referred to as a menoscabo.
Payment of the menoscabo is secured by Loral's and Principia's
interests in Firmamento. The Mexican government, which
currently owns 23.57% of Satmex's outstanding common stock,
indirectly holds a security interest in another 70.71% equity
interest in Satmex as collateral securing the menoscabo.
On Sept. 30, 2003, Servicios defaulted on the menoscabo debt.
As a result of the default, the Mexican government could
initiate proceedings against Servicios, which may include
foreclosure on the Firmamento equity and possibly transfer of
that equity. The menoscabo default also constituted a default
under the indentures.
Mexican Bankruptcy Filing
On June 29, 2005, the Debtor filed a voluntary concurso
mercantil in Mexico to the dismay of the U.S. bondholders.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 1, 2005,
the creditors believed that Satmex may have filed a voluntary
concurso mercantil not because it is in the best interest of the
Company and its customers but rather due to pressure from the
Mexican government. The creditors' belief is due to Mexican
press reports suggesting that officials of Mexico's Ministry of
Transportation and Communications have pressured the Company
into a concurso mercantil filing to allow the Mexican Government
to extract value from Satmex for a debt that is owed to the
Mexican Government not by Satmex but rather by Satmex's parent
company, Servicios Corporativos.
These press reports suggest that SCT officials want the Satmex
restructuring to proceed in Mexico where they believe the
menoscabo and the Mexican Government's position as minority
shareholder will be treated more favorably than in a U.S. court.
The creditors stressed that their U.S. Chapter 11 restructuring
plan would not compromise the menoscabo debt owed by Servicios
Corporativos. On the contrary, the creditors fully support the
payment in full of the Mexican Government's menoscabo debt ahead
of any distributions to Satmex shareholders.
Given that the menoscabo debt would not be compromised under the
proposed Chapter 11 restructuring plan, the creditors are
surprised that the Mexican Government, a shareholder in the
Company, would not consider and respond to the creditors'
proposal, which has the support and approval of more than two-
thirds of Satmex's creditors and which would quickly provide the
Company with badly-needed new financing.
Headquartered in Mexico, Satelites Mexicanos, S.A. de C.V.,
derives over 50% of its revenues from United States business,
and all of the Company's over US$500 million in debt was issued
in the United States and is governed by New York law. The
Company's largest shareholder, Loral Space & Communications
Ltd., is a United States public company also undergoing a
Chapter 11 reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York. The Company is forced into
chapter 11 by a group of secured and unsecured noteholders on
May 25, 2005 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 05-13862). The
noteholders are represented by Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and
Dorr LLP and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP. On June 29,
2005, the Debtor filed a voluntary concurso mercantil to
restructure under Mexican laws.
SATMEX: Bondholders Will Contest Case Dismissal
-----------------------------------------------
The ad hoc committees of holders of:
-- the Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2004 and
-- the 10-1/8% Senior Notes due 2004,
of Satelites Mexicanos, S.A. de C.V., will contest the Company's
motion to dismiss the involuntary chapter 11 petition they filed
in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York on May 25, 2005. The noteholders are made up of U.S.-based
creditors holding more than two-thirds in amount of Satmex's
outstanding debt.
In a press statement, Satmex said:
"The Motion to Dismiss is in furtherance of the strategy of
the Mexican government to force the restructuring of Satmex into
the Mexican courts where the government has extraordinary powers
that will enable it to obtain unfairly favorable treatment for a
debt owed to the government by the shareholders of Satmex.
"The Creditors reiterate their belief that the United States
is the proper venue for a court-supervised restructuring.
Satmex chose to avail itself of the U.S. capital markets by
issuing debt in the U.S. that is governed by U.S. law. Satmex
also agreed that the Southern District of New York would have
jurisdiction over any legal proceedings relating to the bond
debt, which is the only debt of Satmex that would be compromised
under the proposed restructuring in the U.S.
"The Creditors believe that the Satmex motion to dismiss sends a
chilling message to international investors. The Company agreed
to U.S. jurisdiction for legal proceedings related to its bond
debt and is attempting to go back on that agreement now that
this debt needs to be restructured.
"Given that the Government's debt, the so-called menoscabo, is
not a debt of Satmex and therefore would not be compromised
under the proposed U.S. restructuring, the Mexican Government's
position and the Company's motion to dismiss serve only to
further delay the injection of necessary capital into the
Company and harm the creditors and other Satmex constituencies.
"The Mexican Government's refusal to consider the Creditors'
restructuring proposal ignores the rights of Satmex creditors
and the financial well being of the Company. Under the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code and the proposal put forth by the Creditors, a
fair and equitable restructuring in accordance with creditors'
economic interests can be accomplished in as little as 90 days.
This would quickly provide Satmex with badly-needed new
financing sufficient to launch Satmex 6.
"The U.S. Chapter 11 proceedings will not interfere with the
Mexican Government's right to review the restructuring for
compliance with regulatory requirements. The U.S.-based
restructuring will be subject to all regulatory requirements of
Mexico and the United States. Therefore, there appears to be no
practical reason for the Mexican Government to oppose a U.S.-
based restructuring and there is no legal requirement that this
restructuring take place in Mexico. The Mexican Government and
Satmex have not provided any compelling reason for moving this
restructuring to Mexico nor have they explained how a successful
and expedient restructuring could be accomplished there.
"Satmex emphasizes in its motion the importance of its satellite
services to Mexico's national security and defense. The Company
states that it is 'the largest provider of the Satellite
services to the Mexican government' and says that those services
are 'crucial to the Mexican government's national security and
defense operations.'
"The importance of Satmex to Mexico makes it even more crucial
that Satmex restructure its debt as quickly as possible so that
it can launch Satmex 6. A U.S. Chapter 11 restructuring
provides the most expedient form for accomplishing those goals
while assuring Satmex's continued viability and preserving all
of the Mexican government's rights as a regulator.
"By comparison, an expedient restructuring in Mexican courts
under Concurso Mercantil is highly unlikely given the fact that
two years of discussions in Mexico between shareholders and
management have yet to result in a financial solution. Neither
the Company nor the Government have offered or negotiated a
reasonable alternative to the Creditors' proposals since they
were presented in December 2004.
"Another concern is the role of Mexico's Ministry of
Transportation and Communications. As a regulator SCT receives
extraordinary powers to appoint the judicial official to oversee
a Concurso Mercantil, a position which could permit SCT to
continue to hold the restructuring hostage to the payment of the
menoscabo, a debt owed to the Mexican Government not by Satmex
but rather by Satmex's parent company, Servicios Corporativos.
"The restructuring proposal, agreed to by U.S.-based Creditors
holding more than two-thirds in amount of the outstanding debt
of Satmex, includes significant concessions by the bondholders
and treats existing shareholders of Satmex, including the
government, very generously by preserving a significant equity
stake for them.
"The proposal would leave the shareholders with an ongoing
equity stake in a restructured Satmex sufficient to allow them
to restructure the menoscabo debt obligation to the Mexican
Government on terms acceptable to the Government. The Creditors
fully support payment of the menoscabo prior to any payments to
the ultimate shareholders of Satmex.
Evercore Partners is the financial advisor to the Senior Secured
Floating Rate noteholders. Chanin Capital Partners is the
financial advisor to the 10-1/8% Senior noteholders.
Headquartered in Mexico, Satelites Mexicanos, S.A. de C.V.,
derives over 50% of its revenues from United States business,
and all of the Company's over US$500 million in debt was issued
in the United States and is governed by New York law. The
Company's largest shareholder, Loral Space & Communications
Ltd., is a United States public company also undergoing a

SATMEX: Mexicans See Debt Restructuring Unfolding in Mexico
-----------------------------------------------------------
The federal agency that administers and oversees the Mexican
court system expects Satmex debt restructuring to proceed in
Mexico, assuming local bankruptcy proceedings are granted,
reports Dow Jones Newswires.
"Although it's uncertain what decisions the U.S. judge will
make, there are several paths to follow," the agency said. "The
ideal and most likely one, is that the U.S. court will defer,
and the trial will only continue in Mexico."
The Mexican court agency said local bankruptcy law "doesn't
differentiate or grant preference" to any creditors Mexican or
foreign.
It noted the government's role in the proceedings as a
shareholder and regulator of SatMex, but made no mention of the
US$188 million that SatMex holding company Servicios
Corporativos owes the government stemming from the privatization
of SatMex in 1997.
That equity-backed debt, called the "menoscabo" loan, is the
sore point in the proceedings. U.S. creditors treat it as
subordinate to the senior notes they hold, although officials at
the Communications and Transport Ministry insist it must be
paid.
According to Rodolfo Salgado, head of privatizations and other
projects at the ministry, the "menoscabo" debt "is part of the
entire restructuring package" since it originated from the sale
of SatMex.
The holding company Servicios Corporativos is "practically the
owner of SatMex," he added in comments to reporters.

* PERU: Places PEN1.5 Bln in 12-Yr Treasury Bonds
-------------------------------------------------
Peru placed Thursday PEN1.5 billion ($1=PEN3.2505) in 12-year
treasury bonds at a nominal annual yield of 8.6%, as part of a
plan to buy back debt held by the Paris Club of nations.
According to Dow Jones Newswires, demand for the bonds reached
PEN3.3 billion.
The Paris Club recently approved Peru's request to prepay up to
US$2 billion in debt falling due between August 2005 and
December 2009.
Peru negotiated to prepay up to US$1.55 billion as part of the
repurchase plan, and expects to go shortly to international
capital markets to finish raising the funds.
The government has said the repurchase will allow it to reduce
debt payments on the order of US$350 million a year.
The international debt placements will be led by JP Morgan
Securities Ltd.(JPM) and by UBS Securities LLC.(UBS)
As of the end of March 2005, Peru's debt with the Paris Club
totaled US$8.13 billion, or about 34% of Peru's total external
public debt.
Paris Club members who are creditors of Peru include Belgium,
France, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway,
Spain, Sweden, Austria, the U.S. and the U.K.
The Paris Club, founded in 1956, comprises 19 nations including
the U.S., the U.K., Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, Russia, Norway,
the Netherlands, Japan, Italy, Ireland, Germany, France,
Finland, Denmark, Canada, Belgium, Australia and Austria.
