Detection of Adviser to the Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Mohammad Saleh appearance that the Government would start discussing the draft law on budget for the year beginning December 2015 to set up in a manner proportionate to the circumstances and the security and economic challenges.

The Government will move toward the u.s. current expenditures that were costing the federal budget annually to nearly 45 billion dollars. He noted that the budget for the year 2014 data will be presented to Parliament with the budget next year.

The parliamentary legal Committee, confirmed that the Government had decided to calculate the price of a barrel of oil up 80 dollars in the next budget, warning of higher prices amid a crisis in the oil market.

Mohammad Saleh appearance says, economic adviser to the Prime Minister, during a meeting with "the range", "the Finance Ministry is preparing a draft law on budget for the year 2015 in accordance with the Financial Administration Act for public debt No. 95 of 2004 outlining concepts of preparing any balance."

Article (6) of the law of public debt, the Finance Ministry set up the federal budget plans for economic development and the pursuit of macroeconomic stability and economic policy and applicable laws and regulations, taking into account the desire needed to ensure the strengthening of the financial situation of Iraq, reduce volatility in government expenditure, and the accumulation of total income taking into account in particular the wise and moderate forecasts of oil prices and petroleum products tax and customs revenues.

He adds that "balancing next year toward reducing current expenditures/Iraq's and some of the projects in which significant financial burdens while raising some other exports outside oil sector and address the expected shortfall".

And explain the expert, economic adviser for the late adoption of the budget for the year 2015 in the Council of Ministers to "problems and security conditions in Iraq, saying" the presence of exigent circumstances facing adoption of the federal budget for next year weakhretha including falling world oil prices and oil producers and exporters as well as the challenges of terrorism. "

And see that "budget next year will be the return of financial thought Iraq under difficult circumstances and of the challenges facing terrorism and low oil prices."

And economic advisor to the Prime Minister that "the Ministry of finance did not specify the oil prices will depend for next year's budget as well as oil exporters," likely "convert jobs this year to the next budget."

Oil Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi said, while hosted by the House, that the price of oil is calculated in the construction budget for the 2015 nearly $ 80 per barrel, and Abdul Mahdi Iraqi economy improved performance with the right guidance to financial resources through pressure unnecessary expenses.

Saleh noted that the "salaries and wages costs the State budget nearly 45 billion dollars annually as well as consumer spending, such as furniture, cars, testimony, and other services, and up to 45 billion dollars."

The Economist expressed regret that the fiscal policy followed during the past years of current expenditures are paid obscene and large, finds that "the expansion of the financial budgets for the financial period was an unreasonable expansion, which included the ongoing consumer expenditures strained budgets by large amounts."

Salih notes that "recent agreement with KRG will address many of the problems of a budget relating to the raising, production and export and marketing of oil to world markets," predicting that "the discussion of the budget in the next month inside the Cabinet and sent to Parliament".

And the Federal Government and the Kurdistan Regional Government Iraq agreement provides for the conversion of the Federal Government's $ 500 million commitment of Erbil by 150,000 barrels of crude oil per day at the disposal of the Federal Government.

But economic adviser to Prime Minister Martin thinks that a federal budget is subject to complete agreements with the Kurdistan Regional Government and addressing differences oil fully. "

Maybe that "investment budget will focus on important investment projects and projects reluctant", predicting that "the data are balancing 2014 with next year's budget to the House of representatives."

In the same vein, the Secretary Baker, MP for mass change of Kurdistan, "the intention of the Federal Government to calculate the price of oil in next year's budget by $ 80."

Shows Baker for "range" to "the Cabinet will send a budget for the year 2015 to Parliament before the end of the current year for legislation on time," Noting that "the trend is to reduce consumer expenditure in order to control the deficit projected in the budget.

The legal Committee member explains that "causes calculation or the price of a barrel of oil by 80 dollars to cover the shortfall and power through the equation between expenditure and revenue," but acknowledges that "the adoption of this price is risky because of the decline in world oil prices."

Despite the recognition by components of the National Coalition on appointments to independent quotas, but they differ on how to do it and they are subject to the Constitution and the ratification by the Parliament.

While the State of law Coalition, unveiled the formation of some blocks to assign committees and leadership positions, and began "fighting" on the websites of independent bodies since now, the Islamic Supreme Council, the Constitution-drawing mechanism of appointment to these bodies, must be adhered to, and the House of representatives, authentication and the Liberal bloc, indicated that the Cabinet was working on completing the offset Committee that will appoint the heads of independent bodies.

The Federal Supreme Court issued a decision No. 88 for the year 2010, to link independent bodies referred to in the Constitution, the Prime Minister directly, and is headed by the House of representatives.

As revealed in political blocks (16 November 2014 current), the prospective meeting of the legislature and the Executive to discuss the completion of the reforms undertaken by the Government, Haider Al-Abadi, examining the fate of independent bodies.

The Attorney says the State of law Coalition, Abdel Hussein đurica, speaking to the (long press), that "quotas are conventionally on the political scene, so they will be applied in appointments to independent bodies", and that "the equation involving the bad is not to choose the best to share this party or that is most important, thus depriving the country of an important" competencies.

Đurica, expresses regret that "the political blocs be desperate on sites like high" strategy, values, shows that "some blocks formed special committees to leadership positions or special grades, where fighting started now on those sites", and "watch for quotas and beyond, because sites will now be at the expense of the Iraqi people."

The Attorney for the State of law Coalition, "the political landscape is a duplication of that quota, but everyone wants a reality where, some are with him breaking the Constitution possible and acceptable, while out to quota unpardonable crime," and affirms that "independent bodies will be subject to that equation."

His attorney says the Islamic Supreme Council, Furat Al-Tamimi, told the (long press), that "the Constitution draw the appointment of independent bodies and Keyhole Authentication House", and says "but most Chairmen of those bodies have been appointed to the Agency".

Adds Al-Tamimi, the independent High Electoral Commission, subject to a vote of the House of representatives, unlike other bodies requires a reconsideration of the current incumbents and the mechanism of appointment "and asserts that" the Prime Minister, Haidar Al-Abadi, a part of the political agreement, the document on you bodies ".

The MP for the Supreme Islamic Council, the need to "bend of the bodies appointed for the House," and continues "but the subject has not been discussed yet, even within the same political blocs."

On a related level, says MP for the Liberal bloc, Abdul Aziz Al-alzalmy, told the (long press), that "the Council of Ministers currently form a balance which will appoint the heads of independent agencies," and acknowledges that "everything in Iraq is subject to quotas, including the appointment of independent bodies".

Alzalmy, confirms that "the political blocs could not leave quotas", that is "leading to delays and inability to tackle corruption in the joints of the State".

Explains the Constitution in its articles 102-108 in independent bodies, each reference, the count of the High Commissioner for human rights and the Independent Electoral Commission, and the Commission on integrity, independent bodies subject to control by the legislature (the House Oversight), and its Organization Act.

The promise of both the Central Bank and the Court of Auditors and the Commission communication and the Endowment also financially and administratively autonomous bodies, and returned the Constitution confirms in paragraph II of article 103 States that the Central Bank be (responsible to the Chamber of Deputies), and the Office of financial supervision and the Commission communication to the Council of representatives.

Whereas paragraph 3 of the same article that the Endowment is linked to the Council of Ministers, like the Foundation of martyrs is also linked to the Council of Ministers too.

Union Council in Iraq: the institutionalization of veto "Taútna" (3)

Salim Fawzi Zakhour * 

Divided powers belonging to the Federation Council, according to the terms of reference back to him, and from the site, which enjoys within the system, particularly in terms of representation of Iraqi groups, regions and provinces.

It must enjoy the legislative powers of the Federation Council, is involved, according to the text of the Constitution, with the House of Representatives in the formation of the legislature.

 

It also must have certain powers to the executive branch, to ensure that the interests of the groups represented, which is in the majority or the power to control is based on the Federation Council endorsement of certain appointments or even an election.

In other words, if the Federation Council is a constitutional institution based on Taútna (sectarian and ethnic) explicitly, and exercise its powers from this site.

Can determine the legislative function of the Council of the Union during the power to amend the Constitution, the legislative competence of financial, legislative and general competence.

Amend the constitution

The representativeness of the Federation Council, said that in terms of representation of Iraqi groups, or regions and provinces, the consequent responsibility to maintain the existing system and work to develop it.

Since the Constitution is the fundamental law which preserves the order and organize its work mechanisms, it must be the Federation Council has the power to amend the Constitution. This includes the right to propose a constitutional amendment, in addition to the endorsement of the need for any amendment to the Constitution, regardless of the party that submitted the proposal.

It can submit a proposal to amend the Constitution of ten of its members that require approval by two-thirds majority, as the amendment of the Constitution is one of the important issues. Where it does not have to approve the amendment of the Constitution has the greatest possible consensus within the EU Council.

Legislative competence financial

The determination of the legislative competence of the Council of the financial Union is in two areas: development plans, and the general budget. Plans for the development, said that the Iraqi groups demographic distribution to the provinces, arranges great importance for the development plans, where the groups directly affected by these plans.

This demographic distribution of Iraqi groups, makes it necessary for the Federation Council that has the power to ratify these plans, because of their impact on the provinces and groups directly.

As for the general budget, which carries provisions for public spending and public gathering imports, they intervene directly in the impact on the interests of the groups and the provincial department, must be that the Federation Council has the power to approve the general budget after approval in the House of Representatives.

Legislative competence year

Deals with the legislative competence public right to propose laws, and the validity of ratification. The representation of the Iraqi groups within the Federation Council, must be coupled with the right to representatives of these groups to propose laws, both those related to regulatory matters or dealing with important issues. Where the right of any member of the Federation Council advances bill, and the right to return the proposal to one member in order to ensure the right of minorities to make suggestions laws.

In addition to the care of the interests of the groups and the provinces through the right to propose laws, the presence of a second institution dealing with this right along with the House of Representatives is an indispensable for the development work at the legislative level.

This is for the right proposal, As for the validity of the approval of the law, they are considered essential to the Federation Council, he endorses the proposed laws, as well as the laws passed by the House of Representatives after a referral by the House of Representatives.

And the majority required to authenticate the Federation Council on the laws related to the importance of the subject at hand, the absolute majority is sufficient in ordinary matters, and two-thirds majority necessary in important matters.

Legislative action between the two mechanism

We have identified the legislative powers of the Federation Council, but it remains to show that the work between him and the House of Representatives mechanism, especially when the case of dispute.

That any proposal within the Federation Council, must be discussed and approved by the Board before converting it to the House of Representatives for approval. As well as for proposals in the House of Representatives, must be discussed and approved in the House of Representatives before converting to the Federation Council for approval. Nor is any law issued by the approval of both houses it.

In case of disagreement between the two chambers, the formation of a joint committee of members of both Houses evenly, to reconcile the different points of view on a particular topic to re-text one law put on the two chambers for approval. But in the event of continued disagreement between the two chambers, and the inability to reach a consensus text, legislative proposal falls regardless of who made it.

Federation Council authority to the executive branch

President of the Republic is elected by the people's representatives in the House of Representatives, and the Federation Council as a council and as a second legislative representative also for the people, necessitating his involvement with the House of Representatives in the presidential election because of the subject of the importance of the political system level.

On the other hand, lead to wider participation of representatives of the people in the choice of President of the Republic to a more democratic process, and gives greater consensus on the process of selecting the president.

Other powers to the Council of the Union

Other powers to be enjoyed by the Federation Council:

- The right to audit the Federal Supreme Court, it must be enjoyed in any member of the Federation Council the right to revise the court, especially for the constitutionality of laws, because of their impact on the site groups.

- Presidents exemption if convicted of the Federal Supreme Court.

- The ratification of the appointment:

• Chairman and members of the Federal Court of Cassation and the chief prosecutor and head of judicial supervision absolute majority, based on the recommendation of the Supreme Judicial Council. 

• ambassadors and those with special recommendation of the Cabinet grades. 

• Army Chief of Staff, and his aides, and division commanders and above, and the head of the intelligence service, based on a proposal from the Council of Ministers.

• approval of the declaration of war and a state of emergency.

At the conclusion of this research for the Federation Council, it must be emphasized that the Council members enjoy the same immunity enjoyed by members of the House of Representatives, and the dissolution of the House of Representatives does not affect the Federation Council site, it may be linked to the fate of the Federation Council, the House of Representatives.

Out of this proposal on the Federation Council, we realize the importance of his position in terms of institutionalizing mutual veto Iraqi groups within the constitutional institution. And that given the importance of this veto to allow for the Iraqi regime to evolve in a peaceful manner. The Council of the Union is an institutional framework for the application of federal, where crucial decisions require consensus of the constituent units of the Iraqi federation.

The powers that we have set for the Federation Council is directly related to the role that should be played, and reduce or increase any other authority must be on the basis of this role. An institution that does not have any authority has no role, and the role of the institution that does not have, does not need it, but in the context of shape.

The establishment of the Federation Council in Iraq will help to develop safeguards to Iraqi groups, but it could complicate the legislative process, but can be avoided to a large extent from 

During the time limits being set at its inception. But it remains to be peaceful coexistence and democratic Iraqi groups is more important than speed or rush to enact legislation.

Union Council in Iraq: No majority (2)

Salim Fawzi Zakhour 

A must for any functional or structural framework for any m constitutional institution that is responsive to the basic pillars of the system, this institution is part of the system.The search for the structural frame, presents us with the need to answer to know the number of members constituting the Federation Council, and the mechanism of their choice, in addition to the Council's mandate and how to select them. 

The functional framework includes the powers that should be enjoyed by the Federation Council to play an active role, and the areas that will have jurisdiction to decide, in the presence of the House of Representatives and the executive branch, these powers must be in harmony with the powers of the other institutions. It is also important to demonstrate to resolve the dispute between the Federation Council and other constitutional institutions and mechanisms, especially the House of Representatives.

Constituencies 
associated determine the number of members of the Federation Council directly Balsafh representative to the council. In this case, based on the need to achieve a balance between the main groups consisting of Iraq, Shiites, Kurds, and Sunni Arabs, as well as the representation of minorities. 
Nor must work to achieve the bulk of the balance between the regions and provinces, regardless of Andoaúha in a given region of or not. However, the priority in the Federation Council, the remaining balance between the groups, note that the EU Council in Iraq, presumably in case of composition that does two jobs: to represent the interests of groups, and represent the interests of the regions and provinces. 
This duality in the job seem easy to achieve to a certain extent because of the focus groups in the provinces, Which can be considered that the Kurds are concentrated in the three provinces, and Sunni Arabs in the three provinces, and the Shiites in the nine provinces. The remaining three provinces dominated by the pluralistic nature. 
In a more streamlined, we find three Kurdish provinces of 0.3 Sunni provinces 0.9 Shiite provinces, and 3 mixed provinces. If it appears that the number three is a common denominator of view calculations, which will rely upon to determine the number of members. 
as well as associated determine the number of members of the electoral districts in the selection of members of the Federation Council, and as the identification exists between the division on the basis of identities and geographical divide in the provinces, constitute all constituency province.

The number of members of the Federation Council 
from the foregoing, the Federation Council is composed of 120 members, 36 members representing the Kurds 0.36 members representing Shiites, and 36 members representing Sunni Arabs, and 12 members representing minorities, and are distributed as follows: 
9 members representing the province of Sulaymaniyah and are selected by the Kurdish voters in the province. 
9 members representing the province of Dohuk and are selected by the Kurdish voters in the province. 
9 members representing Erbil and are selected by the Kurdish voters in the province. 
9 members representing the Diyala province, and are selected by Sunni voters in the province. 
9 members representing Salahuddin province, and are selected by Sunni voters in the province. 
9 members representing the province of Anbar and are selected by Sunni voters in the province. 
3 members representing the province of Basra, and are selected by the Shiite voters in the province.

If through this mechanism represents the members of the Federation Council at the same time the interests of groups that are elected, as well as representing the interests of the provinces that are elected. 
Almokhman main for this mechanism to identify the members and their distribution is based on: (1) that there is a perfect balance between the Shiite provinces and the provinces the other, and (2) that the minority voters in the provinces that make up the majority of the one not involved in the election of members of the Federation Council. 
For the first outlet, the basic balance for the Federation Council, is based on the balance between the groups, an investigator in these mechanisms, and the equitable representation to the provinces, verifies through the election of the House of Representatives mechanism that takes into account the size of each province. 
As for the second socket, the participation of minority voters in the provinces that make up the majority of the one guaranteed in the House of Representatives elections.

The electoral system 
depends majoritarian system in the election of members of the Federation Council, and may be individual nomination as the formation of the regulations. The winner of the candidates who possess the majority of the voting votes. The adoption of the majoritarian system helps to achieve outright victory for candidates or regulations, and reduces the complexity of the proportional system. It also helps to achieve greater harmony within each group makes it easier for its agreement by working within the Council.

The state of the Federation Council 
note the existence of mechanisms to determine the state of the second chamber in countries that rely bilateral legislative power, they either rely same state with themselves first to the Council, or the adoption of different mandate is usually longer than the mandate of the first Council. 
The aim of the second option is to give the second chamber longer to represent their constituents to enable them to perform their job away from the pressures that can be exposed her with the approach of every election event. 
For the Federation Council in Iraq, we will adopt the second option, in the sense that the mandate of the Senate extends over six years, and is being renovated one-third of the members of the Council every two years, but for the members who representing minorities is being elected every six years. 
Thus, being renovated three members every two years in sectarian majorities provinces (non-Shia), and one member in the predominantly Shiite provinces, and in the mixed provinces being renovated and one for each of the three groups every two years member. And so is renewed every two years 36 members of the Federation Council 0.12 for each major group (Shiites, Kurds, Sunni Arabs).

Terms candidate for the Federation Council 
is supposed to have a candidate for membership in the Federation Council, the conditions that qualify for membership of the House of Representatives, as well as to be reached GENERAL forty and be in possession of a college degree, and be a resident of the conservative candidate to represent it, and belonged to a group that represents.

Presidency of the EU Council 
elected governing body Federation Council of the three people in the first session of the Council after his election. And the distribution of seats in this body on the three groups, no seat for the Kurds, and the seat of the Shiites, and the seat of Sunni Arabs. Commission's mandate is for six years as a state board. 
underway rotation among the members of the Commission for the presidency of the Federation Council on a biennial basis, and the other two members, two Vice-Presidents. The reliance on this mechanism is in line with the existing system where the presidencies distributed to three groups. So keep the principle of rotation in the presidency of the EU Council on the balance between the groups, where there is no one group enjoys Briesten out of four permanently.

Quorum and the mechanism of decision-making 
is the Federation Council session in session legally in case the presence of an absolute majority of the members of the Council, and shall take decisions by an absolute majority, and in the important issues two-thirds majority. 
The emphasis on the two-thirds majority in the important issues, comes to balance between Iraqi groups and to reduce the dominance majority in important issues, especially the Council composed of 120 members (36 Shiites 0.36 Kurds 0.36 Sunni Arabs, and 12 minorities), and two-thirds mean 80 votes, no need for more than the consensus of two groups in order to obtain a two-thirds majority. 
As for the majority of Absolute any 61 votes, it means a consensus, at least two groups in order to take a decision within the Federation Council.
