SULAIMANI — The head of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) bloc in the Kurdistan Parliament, Ziad Jabbar, spoke on corruption in the Region’s oil sector, criticizing a lack of transparency.

"The problems people suffer from are all due to the non-transparency in the Region’s oil income,” Jabbar said.

Iraq’s former Deputy Minister of Finance, Fazil Nabi, warned of a looming disaster on Sunday if the Kurdistan Region and Iraq do not reach an agreement on oil sales.

The Federal Supreme Court issued a verdict on February 15, ruling the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) law on the independent sale of oil and natural gas was against the Iraqi constitution.

The Iraqi Ministry of Oil announced on Thursday a committee was formed to apply the federal supreme court’s ruling.

The new generation: No one knows the percentage of the region's oil exports.. The file is in the hands of Barzani only

Baghdad / Obelisk: The spokesman for the New Generation Movement, Hamdad Shaheen, confirmed, on Monday, March 7, 2022, that the oil file in the Kurdistan region is confined to the hands of the Prime Minister of the region, Masrour Barzani only.

Shaheen said in a statement followed by the obelisk that there is no role for the parliament of the region, nor the financial control of the oil file in the Kurdistan region, not even the Council of Ministers of the region.

He added that no one in Kurdistan knows anything about the percentage of oil exports and revenues, and the file is confined to Barzani's hand only.

He concluded his speech by saying that all the numbers announced are inaccurate, as the corrupt parties in power share the thefts among themselves.

The Iraqi Federal Supreme Court had earlier decided the unconstitutionality of the oil and gas law in the region.

The court's decision obligated the regional government to hand over the entire oil production from the oil fields in the Kurdistan region to the federal government represented by the Federal Ministry of Oil.

The ruling also included obligating the Kurdistan Regional Government to enable the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the Federal Financial Supervision Bureau to review all oil contracts concluded with the Kurdistan Regional Government regarding the export and sale of oil and gas.

The region’s presidencies and government and the ruling Democratic Party attacked the court’s decision that the oil and gas law in the Kurdistan region was unconstitutional, placing its oil under the control of the Federal Oil Ministry and subjecting it to the supervision of the Federal Financial Supervision Bureau to follow up on the region’s conclusion of contracts for the sale of its oil and gas.

The leader in the state of law, Muhammad al-Sihoud, described the Federal Court's decision regarding the region's oil law, as a historic decision and a major turning point towards real reform.

Political analyst Hussein Palestine believes that the court's decision that Zebari's candidacy for the presidency was illegal proves the strength of the framework that publicly rejected the candidate of Barzani's alliance, al-Sadr, al-Khanjar, considering that the framework's judicial and popular victory compensated for his political losses, which have so far led to his exclusion from the political scene, which will not last long. After the victory over the majority.

And the Kurdistan region began to sell its oil in isolation from the federal government, after a stifling financial crisis as a result of the collapse of oil prices during the ISIS invasion of areas in Iraq

Kurdistan Regional Government: We are bound by the oil and gas law and contracts with international companies

 

 2022-03-09 09:02

 

Shafaq News/ The Kurdistan Regional Government said on Wednesday that it is continuing to implement its own oil and gas law, despite its oversight by the Federal Supreme Court (the highest judicial authority in Iraq).

The spokesman for the regional government, Jotiar Adel, said in a conference held today, that "the Federal Court's decision tried to target the constitution because justifying its articles is not within its jurisdiction."

He added, "We are committed to the oil and gas law of the region, and the contracts that we concluded with companies and buyers, because we have legal and financial obligations, as is the case with the other side."

Adel continued, "We are in a financial position that is not good, and how does the federal government prevent the export of oil and gas from the region, and not send the monthly financial advance to finance salaries?", adding, "We are ready to negotiate in order to reach a solution to this issue in accordance with the constitution and the true partnership that has not been achieved." Unfortunately".

On Tuesday (February 15, 2022) the Federal Court issued a decision that the oil and gas law of the Kurdistan Regional Government was unconstitutional, with its obligation to hand over all oil production from oil fields in the region and other areas from which the Kurdistan Ministry of Natural Resources extracted oil and handed it over to the federal government represented by the Federal Ministry of Oil And enabling it to use its constitutional powers regarding oil exploration, extraction and export.

The President of Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, described the decision as "unconstitutional" and was based on a law of the time of the former regime, and stressed the regional government that "such an unconstitutional decision cannot be accepted."

The Kurdistan Regional Government considered the decision of the Federal Court on the oil and gas law in the region, as "unconstitutional", stressing that it cannot be accepted.

And the Kurdistan Region began to sell its oil in isolation from the federal government, after a stifling financial crisis as a result of the collapse of oil prices during the ISIS invasion of areas in Iraq, in addition to the disputes with Baghdad that prompted the latter to stop paying the salaries of the region’s employees.

Baghdad says its national oil company, SOMO, is the only one authorized to sell Iraqi crude oil, but each side claims the constitution is on its side. Since the Iraqi oil and gas law remained imprisoned in the drafting stage due to differences, there was room for maneuver.

The oil file is one of the most prominent outstanding issues between Baghdad and Erbil.

Baghdad used to pay 453 billion Iraqi dinars per month (about $380 million) as salaries to the employees of the Kurdistan Region, but it stopped them after the region conducted the independence referendum on its part, and because of what Baghdad said that the region was not committed to handing over its oil in accordance with the terms of the federal budget.

After several rounds of political negotiations, the region was obligated, according to an agreement with the government in Baghdad, to hand over 250 thousand crude barrels per day of crude oil produced from its fields to the state-owned company SOMO, and hand over the revenues to the federal public treasury.
