Parliamentary Committee Reveals Reasons for Obstructing Oil and Gas Law

Information / Baghdad… Member of the Oil, Gas and Natural Resources Committee, Kazem Al-Tawki, revealed today, Saturday, the reasons for obstructing the legislation of the Oil and Gas Law, while stressing the difficulty of enacting the law.

Al-Touki told Al-Maalouma Agency, “The differences have negatively affected the legislation of the oil and gas law, which faces many political and technical obstacles.”

He added, “Legislating the oil and gas law is not an easy matter, especially after the Federal Supreme Court’s decisions to stop the region’s export of oil through the Turkish Ceyhan port.”

He pointed out that “legislating the oil and gas law needs more dialogue and negotiation between Baghdad and Erbil, especially since the legislation of this law was part of the political agreement prior to the formation of the government.”
