Nelg Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Isn't it illegal until the HCL is lifted? This will spur them to get that done. However, the lifting of HCL has to come from the international community and not Iraq. I see a positive development in all this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambob Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 If I understand things correctly, the HCL is a law or set of laws they have to vote on and enact which is a huge thing we are waiting for. I haven't read the proposed law(s) but it's pointed out in this article that the Oil and Gas Parliament wants a copy of these contracts that have been signed pre-law. Maybe they are just saying they want the law(s) enacted so that the signed contracts are actually legal, since they do not currently have any laws in place to protect their country? No idea, just my interpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelg, It seems you may be confusing the HCL with UNSC chapter 7 restrictions. The HCL is the hydrocarbon law that was agreed to in principle by the Kurds and the Iraqi Parliament. It calls for sharing and disbursement of oil revenues among other things. It is one of the final components that need to be completed before Chapter 7 sanctions are finally lifted. What I am hoping is that the HCL is approved today and Chapter 7 is lifted tomorrow at the UNSC meeting. At that point it should be all clear for the RV.
