KDP Expresses its Position on the Approval of the Oil and Gas Law

KDP Expresses its Position on the Approval of the Oil and Gas Law

Information / Baghdad

The leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, MP Mahma Khalil, Saturday, that there is a political will to pass the oil and gas law during the current parliamentary session.

Khalil said in a statement to Al-Maalouma that "the multiple meetings between the federal government and the leaders of the Kurdish parties at the highest levels, as well as the technical delegations held dozens of times, led to the existence of political will to solve the issue of licensing the oil and gas law."

He added that "all the forces of the state coalition are unanimous in approving the oil and gas law and speeding up its legislation during the current parliamentary session, with the aim of ending the problems between the central government and the regional government."

He pointed out that "the issue of oil and gas will be in the next stage on the agenda of the House of Representatives, and everyone is excited to end this file in the next stage."

Despite the economic importance of Iraq's oil and gas law, which has been awaiting legislation in parliament since 2005, and which stipulates that responsibility for managing the country's oil fields should be invested in a national oil company, supervised by Baghdad, disagreement over the management of The Kurdistan Region of Iraq's oil fields has prevented a vote on it for many years.

A member of the Iraqi parliament's oil and gas committee says the government has not yet completed the draft law on oil and gas, is expected to complete the draft soon and send it to parliament for approval; "We expect this to be done within the next two months. The law will have an impact on the regulation of the sector, the national wealth and increased revenue.
 
"The Iraqi government is currently preparing the draft oil and gas law through several committees," Ali Jorani, a member of the Iraqi parliament's oil and gas committee, told Rudaw on Sunday In coordination with the Kurdistan Regional Government, they want to have a law that defines the powers and duties of the provinces and regions and protect the national wealth in a way that will increase revenue.”
 
"The Iraqi government has not yet set a date for sending the draft, but after sending it will be one of the drafts that must be voted on as soon as possible, because it concerns the entire Iraqi people "Gas should be managed, especially now that investors are coming into Iraq. 
 
The oil and gas bill has been sent to parliament three times since 2007, but disagreements between political parties have prevented its passage. In addition to the 2007 draft, two oil and gas bills were prepared by the Iraqi Council of Ministers in 2008 and and the Kurdistan Regional Government on them, were not approved by the parliament. 
 
"The work of the committees of the Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Region continues to find a common structure; the important thing is to protect this wealth and make it a source of happiness for all Iraqi people," Zainab Mousavi, a member of the committee, told Rudaw.
 
"According to our information, some of the draft has been completed, but those that have been completed are the main points; there is more left and we are waiting for it to be completed," Mousavi said. 
 
The Kurdistan Region has problems with Iraq over the oil and gas issue, but through negotiations, the establishment of subcommittees and several meetings between the two sides, there is now a more favorable environment between the Iraqi federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government to draft the draft.
 
On February 15, 2022, the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court ruled that the Kurdistan Region's oil and gas law, passed in 2007 by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) parliament, was "unconstitutional", in addition to forcing the Kurdistan Region to hand over oil production.

Parliament faces the challenge of passing the oil and gas law. Will it pass or disrupt?

Parliament faces the challenge of passing the oil and gas law. Will it pass or disrupt?

Information/private.It seems that the differences that accompanied the adoption of the budget law by the Kurdish parties will continue if the political blocs do not work to pass the oil and gas law to guarantee the rights of all components away from the hegemony, blackmail and authoritarianism that the Kurdistan Regional Government deals with.
The adoption of the oil and gas law on the extraction and export of oil will stop the waste of millions of dollars from the central treasury as a result of Kurdistan's policy of refraining from delivering oil and gas revenues, as well as stopping exports to Turkey after The decision of the International Court in Paris until exports resume under the supervision and control of the national company SOMO.* Passing date
Talking about the importance of approving the oil and gas law, a member of the Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee, Intisar Al-Jazaery, revealed the date of the adoption of the oil and gas law, which regulates the export of natural resources , while stressing that the Kurdish parties, after passing many paragraphs, have surrendered to the fait accompli on the extraction and export of oil.Al-Jazaery said in an interview with the agency / Information /, that "the parliamentary oil and gas committee is determined to approve the oil law of the region immediately after the legislative recess of parliament," noting that "Iraq is exposed to great losses." due to the continued disruption of the export of Kurdistan oil."
She continued, "The adoption of the law will regulate the mechanism of exporting Kurdistan's oil through the National Oil Company (SOMO)," pointing out that "the Kurdish parties, after passing many paragraphs, have surrendered to the fait accompli on the extraction and export of oil."She added: "The government and the relevant authorities have not yet determined the port through which oil exports will resume, whether it is the port of Ceyhan or the change to one of the other ports."
Safety valveIn addition, political analyst Sabah Al-Ukaili considers that the approval of the oil and gas law will be the safety valve of Iraq in the next stage, while stressing that the passage of the law will work to end all crises that occur regarding the export. of Kurdistan's oil.
Al-Ukaili said in an interview with the Information Agency that "the adoption of the law will redraw the road map for the distribution of wealth among all components," noting that "there is a preliminary agreement between the political blocs on the need to pass the oil and gas law in conjunction with the approval of the general budget law."He continues: "Parliament will work to create the atmosphere that precedes the consensus of political forces to approve the oil and gas law," noting that "the passage of the law will work to end all crises that occur regarding the export of oil."
Regarding the importance of passing the law under the dome of parliament, Al-Ukaili said: "The vote on the oil and gas law will be the safety valve of the country during the next stage," pointing out that it "will lead to action." To remove many of the obstacles facing the work of governments or the movement of their formation.It is clear that political agreements and the failure to strive hard to pass the oil and gas law will lead to the continuation of wasting Iraq's money in broad daylight, as well as the continuation of the Kurdish parties blackmailing political forces with the oil export file in Combined with the adoption of important laws and the formation of governments.

Parliament hasn’t returned from recess yet. When they do, they will have to receive the draft. Once the receive the draft, they will have to work it into their discombobulated schedule. Once they work it into their schedule, they will have to form a committee to break it down. This will involve all the different religious sects. They will argue over who’s going to be on the committee, and who has more relevance to the outcome based on their region. Once they do this, it’ll take at least 30 days to 60 days to come up with a solution to submit to the rest of the parliamentarians for a vote. They will talk about in the coming days for about 30 days to place the vote. And if, and after they approve the vote, they will have to prepare a final draft to go to the president of parliament to get drawn up so they can go to the president for approval. He will fly around 20 more countries, shaking hands, and once he returns, hopefully he can approve it within a week. I hope there’s a good outcome to this.

It’s been a long ride and I truly appreciate all the news posters because that’s a lot of work.

Former Parliament Rapporteur: Passing the oil law will end all Iraq's problems

Former Parliament Rapporteur: Passing the oil law will end all Iraq's problems

Information/Baghdad...

Former House of Representatives rapporteur Mohammed al-Khalidi confirmed on Sunday the end of Iraq's most complex crises as soon as the oil and gas law was passed.

 

Al-Khalidi said in an interview with Al-Maalouma that "the oil and gas law is one of the pending legislation for 4 parliamentary sessions due to political differences, and if it is approved, most of the complex problems will end."

He added, "Five important points must be available to proceed with the adoption of the law, most notably the political consensus and determining the mechanisms of export, management, quantities produced from each field, and the powers and "as of the provinces."

Khalidi pointed out that "the adoption of the law according to a consensual formula will be in the interest of everyone without exception and end the dispute between the center and the Kurdistan region."

He added that "the survival of Iraq's dependence on what is known as the rentier economy is a dangerous step in light of the rapid changes in the energy sector that indicate the emergence of solutions on the energy file that may push oil prices down at record rates." , which constitutes a source of embarrassment for the country's budget, which depends by 90% on revenues from the sale of oil."
