MP Qusay Abbas confirmed that the Oil, Gas and Natural Resources Law is a priority within Parliament in order to ensure its enactment in the next phase of the current legislative session of the Council.

Abbas told Al-Maalomah, “There is a priority for laws that have been pending for a long time without legislation, such as the oil and gas law, which is considered one of the laws that most need legislation in the current parliamentary session.”

He added that “this law has not been passed despite the succession of parliamentary sessions, and therefore it has priority in being passed during the next stage of the House of Representatives, in addition to the existence of other laws that need legislation.”

He explained that “other laws related to human rights, currently within the relevant committee, also require legislation in the next phase, in addition to many other laws too numerous to count precisely,” noting “a parliamentary will to enact laws that have been pending for a long time and have been carried over from previous sessions.”
