{Politics: Al Furat News} The spokesman for the Kurdistan Regional Government, Bishwa Hawrami, announced that a delegation from the Kurdistan government will visit Baghdad this week.
Hawrami said, in a press statement, that: "A delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government will visit Baghdad on Tuesday (August 15) to discuss the implementation of the financial budget law."
He explained that "the delegation will discuss the oil and gas law in Baghdad, and will include representatives of the Ministry of Natural Resources and experts in oil and gas."
It is noteworthy that a delegation from the political bureau of the Kurdistan Democratic Party arrived in Baghdad on August 7, and held meetings with the coordination framework and Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani, which focused on the non-implementation of the agreements under which the current government was formed.
On August 5, the Ministry of Oil said, after a meeting that included Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein and Oil Minister Hassan Abdul Ghani, a delegation from the Kurdistan region, governors of oil-producing provinces and advisors to the prime minister, that the meeting came as part of the legislative reform package that came in the government curriculum, specifically what came in the twenty-third axis. Regarding the preparation of a draft oil and gas law to expedite the completion of this project and with the participation of all relevant parties in this strategic national project.
The meeting discussed, according to the statement, "the importance and objectives of the law and the need to implement it as soon as possible, with the participation of the region, oil-producing governorates and representatives of the Prime Minister's Office," noting that the atmosphere of the meeting was positive.
The meeting resulted in the following recommendations:
1- Forming committees to follow up on this issue and organizing subsequent meetings.
2- A working paper is presented by the committees on the basis of the vision presented by the ministry, the Kurdistan Regional Government and the producing provinces in light of the discussions that took place during the meeting and the previous discussions to be studied by these committees, leading to the preparation of the final draft of the oil and gas law.
Since 2007, the oil and gas bill has been sent to parliament 3 times, political differences preventing it from being passed each time.
Besides the 2007 draft, the Iraqi government prepared two projects in 2008 and 2011.
The first draft of the oil and gas law, prepared in 2007 by the Iraqi government, consisted of 43 articles, and disagreements between the Kurdistan Regional Government and the federal government prevented its approval.
The draft stipulated the formation of a federal council for oil and gas by the Iraqi government that would determine the oil policy in Iraq, in which the Kurdistan region would be represented with the rank of minister.
In 2011, the Iraqi parliament discussed a draft oil and gas law consisting of 49 articles, without being able to pass it either.
It is noteworthy that the Federal Supreme Court ruled on (February 15, 2022) the "unconstitutionality" of the oil and gas law approved by the Kurdistan Parliament in 2007, obligating the Kurdistan Region to hand over its oil to the federal government.
