Announced Abdul - Jabbar, in a press statement on the "Proposal for the establishment of an oil company in the Kurdistan region to manage the operations of extraction and export in the fields of the region, technically linked and administratively under the chairmanship of the region and the Federal Ministry of Oil, according to the project to reach a final agreement between the federal government and the region similar to the oil companies operating in the governorates produced.
Revealed Minister of Oil, on the positive understandings between the central government and the Kurdistan region regarding the production and export of oil produced in the fields of the region within the ongoing negotiations between the two parties, and related to the oil policy in the region in accordance with the constitution in effect and the interests of all the Iraqi people.
Abdul-Jabbar said: “We believe that the region - according to the data on reality - has positive moves to resolve the points of separation and dispute over the nature of the management points of the oil fields in the region, and the quantities of crude oil exported to global markets,” indicating the emergence of positive indications that were evident during the talks with Kurdistan, she confirmed The presence of new visions and ideas for the region to manage the oil fields with the federal government. ”
After the appeals submitted by the Federal Court, the Central Bank and oil experts, Law No. 4 of 2018 regarding the establishment of the" Iraqi National Oil Company ", which was voted by the House of Representatives in its previous session, here is a draft The law goes back to the parliament once again after making amendments to it by the cabinet, to vote on it again after reading it by the Parliamentary Oil and Energy Committee.
The draft law of the National Oil Company, "the amended version," arrived in the House of Representatives last week, after the Parliamentary Oil Committee demanded to send it more than four times during the government of Adel Abdul-Mahdi, and during the current government of Mustafa Al-Kazemi.
Head of the Parliamentary Oil and Energy Committee, Haybat Al-Halbousi, said in a press statement, "This law is approved from the previous session, but some of its provisions were objected to by the Federal Court, so it was suspended, and some of the items that were objected have now been amended. The Parliamentary Oil and Energy Committee for discussion and presented to the House of Representatives for a vote.
Al-Halbousi stressed that "this law is one of the important laws, so we are going to make (the Iraqi National Oil Company) a global company such as (Aramco) and major international companies."
He noted, "This company (if its law is approved) will be joined by some extractive companies, and it is about nine companies, separated from the (oil) ministry in its management, and its management is independent from the ministry, and the companies are North Oil, Basra Oil, Central Oil and some extractive companies. The other, and the general manager responsible for it is at the rank of a minister, and there is an executive director in addition to two deputies and an administrative body. Therefore, we aspire for this company to be the backbone of oil imports in Iraq. "
It seems that the great controversy caused by the law when it appeared and voted on in Parliament in an "unprecedented speed" in 2018 will return again when it is presented to the vote again.

"The white paper, whose theoretical origins are derived from the school (neoclassical), aims to use the fiscal and monetary policies to address the deficit in the balance of payments and the general budget," he added.

Shafq News/ Mp for the Parliamentary Bloc of The Walking, Sabah Talupi, revealed Tuesday the "highlight" of the differences that hindered the completion of the vote on the electoral law, excluding its completion this week.

"Political differences between the blocs are still going on and not over, as the vote on the electoral law is unlikely to be completed this week," Talubi told Shafq News, referring to "the continuation of dialogues and discussions between the presidency of the House of Representatives, political blocs and the legal committee."

"The most prominent differences at the moment are the number of constituencies and the preparation of voters in the elections, especially in the capital Baghdad and some provinces, but other provinces do not have any disagreement over the various constituencies," he said.

The new draft electoral law is the biggest dilemma for the early elections that Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi called for on June 6th.

The Iraqi parliament began discussing the new law legislation late last year under popular protests, which is expected to allow more room for the rise of independents and small blocs to parliament.
