MP: Oil and Gas Law Still Captive to Disagreements

Information / Special… Member of the Parliamentary Oil, Gas and Natural Resources Committee, Ali Al-Mashkoor, revealed today, Sunday, the latest developments regarding the approval of the Oil and Gas Bill.

Al-Mashkoor said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, “The oil and gas law is still a prisoner of political differences, and is currently outside the corridors of the House of Representatives after being returned to the government.”

He added, “The Oil Committee studied the law in detail to identify the points of contention and agree on them finally to be voted on in the House of Representatives during the next stage.”

Al-Mashkoor pointed out that “political differences over the oil and gas law still exist, which is why it has not been voted on and passed yet.”

The Kurdish parties continue to obstruct the government in approving the oil and gas law, which must be voted on in parliament in order to end the violations and thefts that the Kurdistan Regional Government is carrying out in the oil smuggling file.
