Shafaq News Agency publishes the text of the two agreement papers between the governments of Baghdad and Erbil, which were discussed by the Iraqi Council of Ministers during its session held today, Tuesday. The agreement is part of efforts to resolve outstanding financial issues between the two parties, particularly those related to revenues and expenditures under the federal budget law.
A delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government arrived in Baghdad on Monday for the second time in two weeks, carrying the region's response to the proposals recently presented by the federal government. This is a prelude to direct negotiations on the proposals, amid expectations that a vote on the final version of the agreement will be held during the cabinet session.
According to a Shafaq News Agency correspondent, the two papers include details regarding the region's transfer of its oil and non-oil revenues, as well as the organization and localization of its employees' salaries, in compliance with Federal Court rulings and the General Budget Law.
Earlier today, the Prime Minister's media office announced that Mohammed Shia al-Sudani had directed the formation of a committee headed by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Planning, and including the Ministers of Construction and Housing, Higher Education, Justice, and Health, to discuss the two papers with relevant authorities in both governments.
The committee is scheduled to submit its recommendations to the Cabinet for an appropriate decision as soon as possible.
