    Mauritania's government has created a new council to regulate the
    privatisation of state enterprises, AFP reported the office of that country's president as announcing on Tuesday.

    The council's first task will be to oversee the privatisation of the telecommunications sector, scheduled for the beginning of the year 2000, AFP said.

    It includes four members nominated by the state for a four-year term and is chaired by Mohammed Ould Cheikh Mohamedou, a former economic adviser of President Maouya Ould Taya.
