Iraq government reaches oil deal with Kurds

 

 

Kurds to sell 300,000 barrels per day and continue to receive 17 percent share of the national budget.

 

Last updated: 02 Dec 2014 @ 18:48 ... AlJazeera News

 

 

 

 

 

 

Iraq's government has reached a temporary agreement with authorities in the Kurdish region to end a dispute over oil exports and budget payments to the semi-autonomous region.

 

Under the deal, the Kurds will be allowed to sell 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) to Turkey from Kirkuk via a pipeline running through their territory, in addition to 250,000 bpd from the region's own fields.

 

The crude will be sold by Iraq's state oil marketing organisation (SOMO), representing a compromise by the Kurds, who have long insisted the constitution entitles them to sell oil on their own terms.

 

In return, Baghdad will resume payments to the Kurds of 17 percent share of the national budget, and will disburse $1bn towards salaries and equipment of the Kurdish peshmerga forces, who are fighting the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in the north.

 

The Kurds have suffered a financial crisis since the federal government cut funding early this year as punishment for their move to export oil independently.

 

The agreement will help Iraq increase oil exports at a time when its budget is strained by low oil prices and the cost of financing the war against ISIL fighters who control much of the country. It will last at least for the budget year if neither side defaults.

 

Significant boost

 

"It needs some technical work which starts immediately by the KRG," Iraqi Finance Minister Hoshiyar Zebari told the Reuters news agency, describing the deal as a win-win for both sides.

 

 

A source in the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) said the region will sell 250,000 bpd of oil produced in areas under its control to SOMO at Ceyhan but would be free to sell anything produced over and above that amount.

 

That could mark a significant boost for the region, which has said it plans to export as much as 1 million bpd by the end of next year, but has faced long-running opposition from Baghdad to exporting its own crude.

 

The Kurdish government will also help to link the Kirkuk oil fields to its pipeline to Turkey because the original pipeline has been destroyed and is currently under ISIL control.

 

US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Iraq Brett McGurk called the deal an "important breakthrough" in a Twitter post.

 

Iraqi Kurdistan began independently exporting crude to Ceyhan in May, drawing the ire of Baghdad, which claims sole authority to export oil from the country.

Important breakthrough in Baghdad today b/w Government of Iraq and Kurdistan Regional Government on oil exports and revenue sharing. #winwin

In contrast, Baghdad is committed to securing the region's share of the coverage of the Kurdish Peshmerga forces balance the budget of the country.   Barzani said "two sides to reach a strategy to reach agreement on all problems with Baghdad." He said that he sensed in Baghdad "good signs of resolving problems."   The federal government has reached the middle of last month, an agreement with the Government of the Territory to transfer $ 500 million to the region in exchange for the latter put 150 thousand barrels of oil per day at the disposal of the central government.   And the form of the then agreement, "a first step" to resolve the differences between the parties on various topics, including natural resources and power sharing and the disputed territories, and the region's share of the budget.   Baghdad considers the Kurdistan region to export oil without going back to the central government is illegal, while the region Baghdad government accuses withhold its share of the revenue. For the region 17 percent of the budget, but the work so hung since the beginning of this year, due to differences between the territory of the former Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

In spite of the comments made ​​about the importance of the agreement signed by the government in Baghdad with Iraq's Kurdistan region Finally, on their differences over oil exports and the budget, but the complexities that surround its implementation and the postponement of the two parties decide on the related details subject, reduced expectations about the possibility to apply smoothly desired results . And see the National Alliance MP, Hashem al-Moussawi, the agreement 'is a true beginning of the Iraqi government, but the prime minister Haider al-Abadi, Oil Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi, to resolve differences with the Kurds', noting that' perhaps contributes to the removal of any complexity or escalation of the differences between the parties future '. Musawi is that the agreement 'unacceptable and was required from both sides, because the Kurdistan region will address economic problems and the fiscal deficit and the issue of salaries has, and will drop the deficit in the Iraqi government's budget due to the drop in global oil prices. " 
The deal, according to Amoosoeva a statement to the New Arab, that 'strengthens The Iraqi government's authority over the oil sector, through the supervision of export across the country and the return of revenues to the state treasury ', and is optimistic about the effects of the future agreement, pointing out that' the Iraqi government will appear after the agreement, leader in capital positive policy, unlike the previous government, which had its problems and crises with all parts of Iraq, and they are applying the wrong policies'. 
On the security front, is considered al-Moussawi said 'the agreement will serve Iraq, it will save more money with which to buy weapons and fighting terrorism, improving security'. 
The complexities surrounding the implementation of the agreement and the survival of a group of contentious outstanding issues between the parties, without deduction, have paid Prime negotiating Kurdish delegation, Barzani, to say after the time limit brief achieve agreement, he 'is final and there are other things to be talked about, but good to resolve the outstanding problems, this is the beginning.' 
passes province Iraqi Kurdistan, and decided that since former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, earlier this year, cutting the region's share of the country's budget, which is estimated according to the current rates of export of oil, $ 12 billion per year, severe crisis. Senior officials in their statements did not hide that the government coffers are empty and they want to convince foreign banks to approve the granting of provincial financial loans to ensure the oil, without being able to make progress. 
remained the issue of payment of staff salaries in the province and the estimated total of about half a million people, problems large faced by the region, before the problem appears more complex, which is to provide a budget for the war against al 'Daash', which has been fighting the Kurds on the front extends in length about a thousand miles, begins the Iraqi border with Iran and ending borders with Syria. 
On the other hand, does not appear if the government Iraq's new best of the region. And despite the fact that the funds were available better than that of the Kurds, but the government was unable to impose its authority on about half of the country, where insurgents controlled areas in the north and west of the country, added to the Kurdistan region, where no real power to Baghdad it. 
worsened crisis The government in Baghdad, in the wake of the significant decline in oil prices and the need to compensate for this by increasing exports, and the practical and the director is the agreement with the Kurds on the Iraqi treasury to issue quantities of oil for the benefit of, and it was agreed to export 550 thousand barrels per day. This prompted the situation of the parties, in the presence of external and internal pressures, to search for an agreement without delay. 
In a related context, the political Kurdish writer, Ribawar cream, new'arab say ', that' each party exhausted playing cards that has to be displayed, and the like no need for another is not indifferent to it, and the result was that the Kurdistan region's inability to export its oil and save money and manage its affairs independently of Baghdad, which is not able to provide the budget for open war waged months ago '. He adds: 'In contrast, Baghdad tried to besiege the region and prevent money with him and prevent his employees' salaries, before they find themselves facing a fiscal deficit great, and are exposed to real threats from 'Daash' and not be able to recover a lot of areas, which means they need to forces 'peshmerga' Kurdish to assign the army in that task, so the two sides went to the agreement. ' Reveals Kurdish source that of 'reasons to go to the agreement for the Kurdistan Regional Government, and the presence of US pressure, internal and other regional countries, particularly Iran, pushed in this direction. " 
As a prelude to the use of troops Kurdish peshmerga in the liberation of areas such as Mosul of control 'Daash', includes the agreement between the two parties exchange the amount of about one billion dollars for the peshmerga guerrillas immediately. It is likely that the Americans also put pressure on the Kurds, to participate in the liberation of Mosul war, but it seems that the Kurds are not enthusiastic about it, so that the Prime Minister of the province, said in a media statement Finally, 'The Kurds do not want to kill for the Arabs, and the Arabs also wants did it for the Kurds', in reference to the sectarian and ethnic divisions suffered by Iraq. 
and look the technical details concerning the application of a complex agreement, because the pipe system installed by the Kurdistan region to export oil is not advanced to the point of meeting the desire of both parties to export more than half a million barrels per day of oil region and Kirkuk. 
proposes a Kurdish lawmaker in the Iraqi parliament, Shoresh Haji, a way he sees 'reasonable' for outstanding disagreements between Kurdistan and Baghdad, a swap of land with oil, that is, give up the Iraqi government of Kurdistan in Kirkuk and the rest of the areas claimed by, a meeting that goes oil and gas return them to the treasury of the Iraqi state. 
is in an opinion piece published by the newspaper 'Rudaw' Kurdish, that 'If the agenda of the negotiation in the past and for the Kurds, including many topics, basic and fundamental issue is in the current negotiations is land and oil.' 
Haji believes that 'permissible to ask Iraqi officials to agree to the return of Kirkuk and the Kurdish areas to the Kurdistan region to agree with them on those areas that oil is the king of all Iraqis of Kurds, Arabs and the rest '. He adds: 'Under this, the Kurds will get their land, and get Baghdad on oil revenues for all of Iraq', pointing out that 'without it, will remain the case that deferred land, Kaljmr under the ashes, and can be transformed with any events or developments to the crisis and controversy and cause of violence external interference even '. 
For his part, describes a political science professor at Baghdad University, Ihsan al-Shammari, the new'arab ', the agreement as' progress ', and this is what the president of the Kurdish negotiator, considering the announcement that the deal is not final makes it' sort of fragility '. 
It stresses that the al-Shammari 'to reach a final agreement, it remains tied to the development of federal oil and gas law, a thorny and difficult law, on the grounds that it may collide with a lot of bumps on the level of the political interests of the political blocs'. He points out that 'the agreement opens the door to dialogue between Baghdad and the Kurdistan region, a door that was closed under the previous government.'
