MP Nazim Al-Shabli, a member of the Oil and Gas Committee, revealed today, Wednesday, that the Kurdistan Region does not want to hand over oil revenues to the federal government.
Al-Shabli said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, “The oil and gas law, which in turn limits oil smuggling in the region, is subject to political differences,” noting that “the importance of enacting the law is to control oil revenues after the procedures to stop the region’s exports through the Ceyhan crossing and the intervention of international courts.”
He added, “The region has no real desire to send oil imports, in addition to the continuation of oil smuggling operations.”
He pointed out that “the enactment of the oil and gas law in turn limits oil smuggling and obliges the region to send oil revenues, and stressed the need to send the draft oil and gas law for discussion and approval in the House of Representatives.”
