On Monday, the representative of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Nermin Maarouf, revealed the formation of a joint committee between the Baghdad and Erbil governments to prepare a draft oil and gas law.
Maarouf said in an interview with Al-Maalouma agency, “The current discussions, according to the agreement between Baghdad and Erbil, are taking place in order to legislate the oil and gas law, while resolving the differences and outstanding issues between the region and the center.”
And she added, “The agreement concluded between the political forces provides for the legislation of the oil and gas law within a period of 6 months from the life of the formation of the government.”
She pointed out that “the adoption of the law within the House of Representatives will contribute to resolving the problems between Baghdad and Erbil,” pointing out that “the oil and gas law has political dimensions, as it is linked to the relations between the Baghdad government and the Kurdistan Regional Government.”
The House of Representatives pledged to seek to legislate the oil and gas law in a way that secures a solid legal environment for work and investment in the oil and gas sector away from political tensions.
