{Political: Al Furat News} The Federal Supreme Court started a hearing on the {59 Federal} case regarding the export of oil in the Kurdistan region outside the approval of the federal government.
It is noteworthy that the case was filed by the federal government against the region about 10 years ago, but it was postponed for several times.
The Federal Supreme Court assigned a technical expert to submit a report on questions regarding the challenge to the unconstitutionality of the Kurdistan Region extracting oil from its lands and selling it directly.
The regional government has concluded contracts with major international oil companies - including ExxonMobil, Rosneft and Genel - to develop its oil fields, which pump between 300,000 and 500,000 barrels per day.
