Parliamentary Committee Holds Kurdistan Responsible for Obstructing the Approval of the Oil and Gas Law, 31 AUGUST

 Parliamentary Committee Holds Kurdistan Responsible for Obstructing the Approval of the Oil and Gas Law

Member of the Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee, Alaa Al-Haidari, strongly criticized the Kurdistan Regional Government, holding it responsible for obstructing the approval of the Oil and Gas Law.

Al-Haidari said in an interview followed by “Al-Eqtisad News” that “there is difficulty in passing the law due to the lack of a political agreement and the regional government’s failure to implement the concluded agreements.”

Al-Haidari pointed out that “several meetings were held in the presence of officials in the Ministry of Oil and government advisors, with the aim of reaching an agreement on the law, but those efforts have not borne fruit so far.”

He added, "The Oil and Gas Law is one of the laws that has been stalled in the House of Representatives, as it has remained on the shelves for more than five parliamentary sessions."

Al-Haidari explained that “the government program included voting on the law in the House of Representatives, and if approved, it will contribute to ending the controversy between the region and the center, and provide fair direction for wealth within the framework of the constitution.”

Al-Haidari concluded his statement by stressing that “the approval of the law will ensure the fair regulation of oil exports and oil and non-oil revenues, which will spare the country further problems and obstacles between the region and the center.”  link
