Parliamentary Oil Member: Meeting with the Region is a positive step to break the export stalemate
Zainab Al-Moussawi, a member of the Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee, confirmed that the Ministry of Oil’s invitation to hold an urgent meeting with representatives from the region is a positive step towards breaking the deadlock in the region’s oil export file.
Al-Moussawi explained in a statement to {Euphrates News} agency, that “the success of the meeting in reaching an understanding formula depends on several factors, including political intention,” noting that “if there is a real will on both parties (Baghdad and Erbil) to resolve differences, the chances of reaching an agreement become greater.”
Al-Moussawi touched on “controversial points such as export mechanisms, the region’s financial share of the budget, and supervision of export and revenues, stressing that if these essential points are understood, this may pave the way for the resumption of exports.”
Al-Moussawi pointed to “internal and international pressures, explaining that there is great economic pressure due to the suspension of exports, and this may contribute to pushing the parties to make concessions.”
It also pointed to “the importance of having mediation or international support, indicating that sometimes international parties (such as foreign oil companies or countries concerned with the oil market) intervene as factors that help to bring views closer.”
Al-Moussawi concluded her statement by saying that “the meeting may contribute to reaching an understanding, but it is not a guarantee in itself, stressing that the result depends on whether there is an actual willingness to resolve differences and make mutual concessions.”
