Law experts and observers of political affairs saw that the decision of the Federal Supreme Court issued in February of last year 2022 regarding oil and gas in the Kurdistan region of Iraq drew a road map to regulate the relationship between the federal government and the region in the field of extracting, producing and exporting petroleum wealth, and that this decision It could lead - if it is agreed to implement it - to the ripening of an integrated oil and gas law that has been delayed for more than 16 years.
And the legal expert, Muhammad Majeed Rasan Al-Saadi, stated in an interview with "Al-Sabah" that "the oil and gas law has been suspended since 2007 because there was no agreement and agreement on the terms of the previous draft law."
He added, "The Federal Supreme Court's decision on 2/15/2022, which included the ruling on the unconstitutionality of (the oil and gas law of the Kurdistan Regional Government) No. (22) of 2007 and its cancellation for violating the provisions of 6 articles in the Iraqi constitution, obligated the region's government to hand over all oil production from the oil fields." In the Kurdistan region and other regions to the federal government represented by the Federal Ministry of Oil and to enable it to use its constitutional powers regarding oil exploration, extraction and export.
He pointed out that "the decision is clear, and the Ministry of Oil has the right to pursue the invalidity of oil contracts concluded by the regional government with external parties (states and companies) regarding oil exploration, extraction, export and sale, in addition to obligating the regional government to enable the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the Federal Financial Supervision Bureau to review the oil contracts concluded." With the regional government regarding the export and sale of oil and gas for the purpose of auditing and determining the financial rights owed by the regional government.
He added, "The Federal Court's decision to draw a road map for legislation (oil and gas law) that regulates the relationship between the federal government and the region and the rest of the provinces producing and exporting oil and gas," stressing that "the opportunity is ripe today to conclude an agreement between the center and the region, especially since this parliamentary session is devoid of bargaining." To obtain partisan or factional gains in return for voting on important national legislation, as in previous parliamentary sessions,” according to the legal expert.
Al-Saadi said, "The regional government is now beginning to feel the size of its will against the will of the federal government," noting that "the struggle of the region with successive central governments is a biased conflict on the basis of nationalism, so the failure of the national political project has caused the failure of the regional government's management economically, socially and politically, so We believe that there is a real will on the part of the federal government, led by Prime Minister Muhammad Shia'a al-Sudani, to end this file," noting that "the credit goes to the hammer of the Iraqi judiciary and the hammer of the President of the Federal Supreme Court, which woke up the dreamers and made them submit to the will of reason and logic," he said.
As for the head of the “East Center for Strategic Studies and Information,” Ali Mahdi Al-Araji, he explained in an interview with “Al-Sabah” that “the federal government is trying, like its predecessors, to find a final and realistic solution that serves all parties in the center and the region, as the political forces have not agreed since 2005 until today on a specific approach.” Fixed oil and gas.
Al-Araji expressed his pessimism about "enacting a law that serves reality and the Iraqi street," adding, "I am not inclined to the dark side, but I stand on the facts of the stage. For his own good."
He added, "The federal government can work on issuing wonderful legal texts that end the crisis and weaken the joints of dispute with the region if the working paper it will issue is applied to the legislative authority, but at the same time, and based on a reading of the political reality, I believe that the determined efforts will remain in place." on the shelf next to the previous ones.
