Shafaq News / The Kurdistan Democratic Party Parliamentary Bloc revealed, on Saturday, a preliminary agreement by the political forces to settle the oil and gas law in Parliament, before the end of its session.
The representative of the bloc, Diyar Barwari, told Shafaq News, that “the oil and gas law is one of the important laws in the House of Representatives, and there was a serious intention to head the parliament to vote on the law in previous sessions, but the postponement came as a result of Parliament’s preoccupation with the general budget law.”
Berwari added, “The political blocs, including the Kurdish one, submitted their observations on some articles of the law to the Parliamentary Oil and Energy Committee,” noting that “there is confirmation of the remarks that they do not violate the constitution.”
Berwari noted, “There is an initial agreement by the political forces to resolve the oil and gas law before the end of the parliamentary session, with a real desire to vote on the law during the upcoming sessions of the House of Representatives.”
The ministries of oil and energy in the governments of Erbil and Baghdad are keen on the need to expedite the passage of the oil and gas law because of its importance in organizing the management of oil and gas wealth in Iraq.
