Information/Baghdad...

The KRG's lack of commitment to oil exports and the quantities specified for export abroad, as well as the loss of revenues and the lack of knowledge of the real figures, prompted Baghdad in the past period to hold a meeting with Erbil in order to agree on Certain mechanisms to ensure that oil is not smuggled and that real revenues reach the capital.

The consolidation of this agreement comes through the continuation of the legislation of the oil and gas law in order to oblige the region to its paragraphs and punish it in the event of a violation or export in violation of the law, which is expected to see the light during the next short period.

A member of the Oil and Gas Committee, Sabah Sobhi, told Al-Maalouma, "The draft oil and gas law is still with the government due to the outstanding political differences regarding the law, as it needs political consensus between all parties without exception."

Sobhi added, "There is an effort to create a suitable environment to solve some of the accumulated problems to proceed with the legislation of the law during the current parliamentary session."

He pointed to "the continuation of work to solve problems with the law and put it on the parliament table for the purpose of discussion."

He continued, "This project is of economic importance and is bound to deliver oil revenues through the Federal Oil Marketing Company, as well as knowing the quantities exported, especially since there is an agreement between Baghdad and Erbil to legislate the law, and therefore the House of Representatives will work to legislate it during the next stage."
