PARLIAMENTARY LEGAL COMMITTEE: NO SERIOUS STEPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO PASS THE OIL AND GAS LAW YET.
Parliamentary Legal Committee member Dara Sekanyani confirmed on Wednesday that no serious steps have been taken to pass the oil and gas law. He noted that passing the law requires consensus and understanding between the parties, something that has not yet been achieved.
“All parties are talking about the importance of approving and passing the oil and gas law, which was included in the government’s work program and was scheduled to be passed, but no serious steps have been taken to pass it yet,”
He added, “If the oil and gas law is passed, the oil and gas issue between the Kurdistan Regional Government and the federal government will be resolved, and some of the issues between them will be resolved, provided that all parties commit to implementing the law after its passage.”
