"Proposals and Obstacles"... Parliamentary Committee: Legislating the Oil and Gas Law requires the agreement of three parties
The Parliamentary Oil, Gas and Natural Resources Committee confirmed today, Saturday, that approving the draft oil and gas law requires the consensus of three parties, while it referred to proposals regarding its draft.
The Deputy Chairman of the Committee, Adnan Al-Jabri, said in an interview with (Al-Rabaa) that, “The Oil and Gas Law is one of the most important laws that must be enacted during the current session, and the Parliamentary Oil, Gas and Natural Resources Committee worked to activate the draft law or activate the legislative procedures.”
Al-Jabri added, "Legislation procedures need to prepare a draft from the government, to be discussed between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government, in addition to the producing provinces, and then agreed upon and sent to the House of Representatives."
Regarding the obstacles to legislating the law, he pointed out that “the problem is that the draft has been prepared, but so far it has not been agreed upon between the productive governorates on the one hand, the Kurdistan region on the other hand, and the federal government. There are proposals by the productive governorates, proposals from the regional government, and proposals from the federal government.” ".
He continued, "The House of Representatives is waiting for all these parties to agree on a final draft, and when it is sent to the House of Representatives, it will be read first and then subject to discussion and a second reading, after which the law will be enacted. But the most important thing is that the draft comes agreed upon by all components and all Iraqi parties in the Council of Ministers." ".
He explained, "There are representatives of almost all governorates and components in the Council of Ministers, and therefore when the draft is agreed upon, the House of Representatives will not delay in approving the law." link
