ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The United Kingdom wants the Kurdistan Region to continue to be a strong and stable partner in the Middle East, a British official said on Monday.

James Thornton, the British Consul General in Erbil, made the comments in a meeting with Masoud Barzani, the President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP). Thornton met with the Kurdish leader to introduce himself as the new Consul General in Erbil.

The British official “expressed his satisfaction with the progress of the political process in the Kurdistan Region and the start of the new government, stressing that his country wishes the Kurdistan Region to be strong and stable,” a statement on the KDP leader’s website read.

Thornton also “wished to develop further relations between Britain and the Kurdistan Region,” it added.

Both sides also discussed the latest political developments in Iraq and the region, in general, especially as the so-called Islamic State threatens to reemerge.

One of the areas of discussion was Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution and the security situation in Kirkuk, a province disputed between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Federal Government of Iraq.

Article 140 is related to the status of disputed areas between Baghdad and Erbil. According to the article, a referendum was supposed to be held in these areas to determine if its residents want to be governed by the KRG or Iraq. However, no such vote has taken place yet.

Delegations from the Kurdistan Region and Iraq have met regularly in the last few months to resolve outstanding disputes, including those related to the contested areas.

“Relations between the Kurdistan Region and Britain were another focus of the meeting,” the statement concluded.

Time for KRG-Baghdad revenue handover deal running out: Iraq oil minister

1 hour ago  |  81 Views

Speaking to Rudaw on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference, Iraq Oil Minister Thamir Ghadhban warned on Wednesday that with 2020 budget allocation legislation imminent, time is running out for Erbil and Baghdad to hammer out their differences. 

Relations between Erbil and Baghdad plunged in 2014 when the Kurdistan Regional Government began exporting oil directly to Turkey. Baghdad responded by cutting the KRG’s budget share – one of the main reasons for a four year slash of KRG employee salaries.

Iraq’s 2019 budget bill stipulates Iraqi federal government will pay KRG salaries regardless of whether other terms are honored. For other budget allocations, Baghdad requires the KRG to export 250,000 barrels of oil per day through Iraq’s state oil-marketing company SOMO and hand over all federal revenues to the central treasury - which the KRG has yet to do. 

Ghadhban said that in order increase the level of oil exported from Kirkuk to Turkey’s Ceyhan port, Baghdad is planning to build a new pipeline from Kirkuk to Peshkhabur, to replace an old pipeline which has severely been damaged by the Islamic State in the past. However, export increases to Western markets are not an immediate term priority, he said.

 
Rudaw: How is the situation regarding relations between the KRG and Iraqi federal government?

Thamir Ghadhban: They have generally been good since the election of Mr. Nechirvan Barzani [as Kurdistan Region president]. He came to Baghdad, and there was a fruitful meeting with His Excellency the Prime Minister of Iraq Mr. Adil Abdul Mahdi, which was followed by another meeting after the election and appointment of Mr. Masrour Barzani [as PM]. I attended the two meetings. There was an agreement between the two sides that...we are a unified country with sovereignty and that both sides should work together... to serve the people of Iraq, all over the country, whether in Basra or Erbil, and issues like the payment of salaries, like oil and gas, should be solved amicably between the two parties. Both sides agreed that our reference is the constitution. 

This was also followed by a meeting in Erbil. I was leading a delegation that met with his Excellency Mr. Masrour Barzani, and later we met the President of the Region of KRG Mr. Nechirvan Barzani. Of course, relations are better. Both sides are [determined] to solve issues between the two sides through dialogue to serve the country, to serve the people of Iraq and serve the people of Kurdistan. We agreed to further dialogues, and to forming sub-committees to look into oil and gas issues, to revenue-sharing issues and issues of security.

Concerning oil and gas, how are the negotiations going? Which stage of talks are you now at? Is there a level of understanding between the two governments?

First of all, I would like to say that there have previously been a lot of problems regarding solving these issues, how to agree on a common policy, how to market oil produced in the region of Kurdistan, the role of SOMO and how to deal with revenue generated from the sale of Kurdistan Region oil. 

We have agreed we should really prepare a list of a number of principles that should guide us, those who are going to engage in dialogue.I would not call it negotiations, because the federal budget law of 2019 is very clear. It [contains] rights and obligations. We in the federal government are now paying salaries of all the employees of the federal region of Kurdistan, and similarly for the Peshmerga within the budget of the Ministry of Defense [of Iraq]. But the law also states very clearly that the KRG should commit to the handover of at least 250,000 produced barrels of oil to the federal government so that SOMO, the marketing company of the federal government, can sell it on the international market and the money generated be deposited into the federal government treasury. Unfortunately, this has yet to be done.

Of course there is a lot of dismay and disagreement, especially within the special committees and parliamentarians in Baghdad, about the KRG not adhering to and respecting the [budget] law, passed by the whole parliament and agreed to and voted on by Kurdish parliament blocs. Now, there is an exchange of papers between the two sides, and I hope those issues will be solved in meetings in the coming days, and that we both respect the implementation of the federal budget law – otherwise, there will be immense difficulties in the coming budget law of the year 2020.

In your opinion, how long it will take for negotiations to bear fruit with the KRG to reach an agreement? Do you think Baghdad and the KRG will be done with these disagreements before passing the 2020 budget?

I think it is in the interest of the KRG that we move forward swiftly. We should not [waste] time. We are now in September and it has been … almost seven months since the approval of the budget law. There are now detailed discussions taking place about the 2020 budget law within the federal government. I think we should not be taking our time. We should not talk about negotiation anymore; we should talk about working together and implementing the federal budget law, and also agree on the principles that will guide us both for the year 2020.

Does the Iraqi government have any plans to increase the export of oil via the Kurdistan-Ceyhan oil pipeline? How much oil is now going through Ceyhan oil pipeline?

We are currently exporting about 100,000 barrels of oil per day. Currently, we do not have a plan to increase export levels. This is simply because of the limitations of North Oil Company [Kirkuk-based state oil company] production capacity. Also a lot of oil [is] being processed at refineries inside KRG - the KAR refinery and Qaiwan refinery.  We provide approximately 140-150,000 barrels of oil per day [to those refineries]. The main export route from the south, where we have ample capacity, because the biggest market for Iraqi oil is South-East Asian markets, rather than European Union or American markets. So, we will keep that level for next year. 

At the same time, we are now in the process of going ahead with the construction of a new pipeline from Kirkuk to Peshkhabur to replace the old pipeline which was severely damaged by the terrorist organization of Daesh [Islamic State]. Once we have that, and we have more connections with networks from the south, then we will be able to export more than the current 100,000 barrels of oil per day at some point in the future.

In 2014, the Ministry of Oil in Baghdad filed a complaint against KRG officials [due to independent oil sales]. What is your view on this case and how it should be resolved?

Well, it is within the federal court and has taken some time, of course. We are not really putting pressure [on case proceedings], but at the same time, [we want] the issues are solved amicably for the good interests of the whole people of Iraq, and a sound and sustainable agreement detailing that we have common policy. 

I am now facing difficulties with OPEC, as the KRG is producing increasing amounts without coordination with the federal government - a serious matter, of course. Our accord with OPEC is for the whole country, not the federal government alone. Therefore, whatever production is happening within the federal region of Kurdistan is accounted for as part of Iraqi produced oil. Thus, as I earlier said, once we have a common agreement, and we have a common policy to regulate the production and exportation of oil, I think all pending issues will be solved for the people of Iraq.

Baghdad took legal action against Turkey with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in 2014 in Paris, after Ankara announced that oil from the KRG was being exported to international markets. What is your viewpoint now?

Well, there is now dialogue between the two sides. We hope that we come to an agreement. The most important point, which is really a valid point, is that we have a bilateral state-to-state agreement [with Turkey], and that any use of the system by a third party should be done with the consent of the two parties. But what has been done in the past has been unilateral action, without the consent of the federal government. That is why the previous government complained, and I think they were right to do so.

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The president of the leading Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), Masoud Barzani, on Wednesday, discussed with the US Deputy Chief of Mission in Iraq, Brian McFeeters, the issues of current relations between Erbil and Baghdad, as well as the future of Kurds in Syria.

In the meeting, which took place in Erbil with US Consul-General in Erbil Steven Fagin present, both sides highlighted the current situation in Iraq and the region.

Barzani, the former President of the autonomous Kurdistan Region, reiterated his support for resolving disputes between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the federal government through a constructive dialogue within the framework of the Iraqi constitution, according to Barzani’s press office.

The senior Kurdish leader also emphasized the importance of addressing the political situation in northern Iraq and the threat that the Islamic State still poses. Barzani noted that the terrorist group is defeated militarily, but that it plans to regroup and re-emerge in the country.

The causes that led to the creation of the Islamic State remain unresolved, he stressed.

Barzani currently holds no government post, but the long-time Kurdish leader is a renowned figure in the Kurdistan Region and continues to play an important and influential role.

The two sides also discussed the situation in Kirkuk Province and other disputed territories. They remain one of the key issues between Erbil and Baghdad, even as they increasingly pose a major security threat, because the Islamic State is re-establishing itself in those areas.

The current developments in Syria and concerns about the future of Kurds in the north and northeast areas of the country, known as Syrian Kurdistan (Rojava), were also issues that Barzani highlighted in his discussion with the US envoy.
