Parliamentary Committee Announces Return of Oil and Gas Law to Government, 5 AUGUST

Al-Maalouma / Baghdad ..
The Parliamentary Oil, Gas and Natural Resources Committee announced today, Monday, the return of the draft oil and gas law to the government.

Committee member, Ala Al-Nashi, told /Al-Maalouma/ agency, “The oil and gas law is currently outside the halls of the House of Representatives after it was returned to the government.”
She added, “The government is studying the law in detail to identify the points of contention and agree on them finally.”
Al-Nashi indicated that “the political differences over the oil and gas law still exist and that is why it was not voted on in the House of Representatives.”

The Kurdish parties continue to obstruct the government in approving the oil and gas law, which has become a must to vote on in the halls of parliament, in order to end the violations and thefts that the Kurdistan Regional Government is pursuing in the oil smuggling file.
