Iraq reclama a Francia 651 millones de euros por el pago de Mirage F1 que no fueron nunca entregados. Una comisión ministerial ha sido recientemente formada para recuperar el importe pagado por adelantado. Iraq utilizaba unos 90 Mirage F1, y firmó un contrato por 24 mas en 1985, pero no fueron entregados debido a las sanciones impuestas por la ONU tras la invasión de Kuwait por Iraq en 1990. La embajada francesa en Iraq no ha dado mucha importancia a la cuestión. En Diciembre de 2009, Francia canceló el 80% de la deuda contraída por Iraq y que rondaba unos 4,8billones de euros.

Iraq is trying to recover a 651 million euro payment to France for a consignment of Mirage F1 fighter planes that were never delivered. A ministerial) committee was recently formed to negotiate with Francethe recovery of 651 million euros paid in advance under the contract to buy Mirage F1 aircraft that the manufacturers never delivered.
Iraq used to own 90 Mirage F1s, and signed a contract with France in September 1985 to buy 24 more of the combat aircraft, but they were not delivered before the UN Security Council imposed sweeping sanctions on Iraq over its 1990 invasion of Kuwait.
A diplomat at the French embassy told AFP that he was looking into the matter, without elaborating. In December, France cancelled 80 percent of the debt it was owed by Iraq, which amounted to around 4.8 billion euros (6.6 billion dollars).
