AN INDEPENDENT REPRESENTATIVE STRESSES THE NEED TO LEGISLATE THE OIL AND GAS LAW
Member of the Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee, Independent Representative Nazem Al-Shibli, stressed today, Wednesday, the necessity of passing the oil and gas law.
Al-Shibli told Al-Maalouma, “The oil and gas law is the only solution to solve the outstanding problems between the federal government and the Kurdistan region, and its legislation will resolve all disputes between the two parties.”
He added, “The House of Representatives has completed all sections of the law, but the government has amendments and comments on some paragraphs of the prepared law.”
He pointed out “the difficulty of resolving the problems with the region without the oil and gas law,” noting that “11 amendments were made to the law.” Since the first session of the Iraqi Council of Representatives, in 2005, the draft oil and gas law has remained locked away, as disagreements prevent its approval in its final form. After 18 years.
