After several discussions, the participants agreed to present five important recommendations, the most prominent of which is that publishing the licensing round contracts is an important step to enhance transparency in Iraq because these contracts are related to public money management, and the citizen has the right to see them, and the publication of the licensing round contracts signed between Iraqi and foreign companies, It will enable non-governmental organizations, Iraqi civil society and the media to analyze them and facilitate the process of monitoring compliance with its terms by both parties to the contract to ensure proper implementation and diagnose any defects that may harm the public interest. Also, the participants in the session do not believe that the publication of the licensing rounds contracts will lead to any harm to the interests of Iraq because most of the important commercial points are known, but the details remain undisclosed and these details are important for the process of monitoring contract implementation by civil society and the media. The participants also recommended the necessity of preparing a clear mechanism to evaluate the performance of the bodies that manage the implementation of contracts and hold them accountable in the event of any failure or default in their work, noting that these authorities currently work without a mechanism for evaluation and accountability, which is the reason for the failure of those responsible for wasting public funds due to decisions that have been proven wrong.
