The Finance Committee: Our priorities are to chart a new course for managing the financial situation
The head of the Finance Committee, Atwan Al-Atwani, confirmed today, Wednesday, that the committee has placed at the top of its priorities the development of a new path for managing the financial situation.
A statement by the Finance Committee received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA) stated that "the head of the Finance Committee, Atwan Al-Atwani, met with the delegation currently visiting the United Kingdom, Lord Baroness de Sousa and the Director of the Oversight Unit in the British House of Commons, Alex Knight, each separately, in the presence of specialists from the International Partners Foundation."
He explained that "the discussions were held on the prospects of joint bilateral cooperation between the Finance Committee in the Iraqi Council of Representatives and the specialized committees in the British House of Commons in terms of legislative and oversight work and the exchange of expertise in all fields, in a manner that serves the interests of the two friendly peoples."
The statement continued, "After reviewing the structure of the British House of Commons and the House of Lords and the role of each of them, Al-Atwani stressed the need for the Iraqi Council of Representatives to establish permanent specialized formations of experts and specialists whose mission is to chart the course of legislative work and complete the requirements for enacting laws and consolidating legislation in a manner that achieves the country's supreme interests and is consistent with development plans and service programs."
He pointed out that "strengthening the work of the legislative authority with these specialized formations would mature the laws and assess the government's actual need for the legislation to be enacted, away from personal interpretations."
During his discussions, Al-Atwani reviewed "a number of files and topics of common interest," noting that "his committee has prioritized charting a new path for managing the financial situation in the country through a gradual transition to relying on non-oil revenues, especially since Iraq has financial revenue outlets that can be pillars of building the budget, including customs, taxes, investment of state assets, communications, and other government services." link
