Kazem Al-Touki, a member of the Oil, Gas, and Natural Resources Committee, revealed the reasons for blocking the oil and gas law’s passage while highlighting the difficulty of doing so.
“The differences negatively affected the legislation of the oil and gas law, which faces many political and technical obstacles,” Al-Tawki stated in an interview.
He added, “Administering the oil and gas regulation is certainly not a simple matter, particularly after the Government High Court’s choices to stop the area’s commodity of oil through the Turkish Ceyhan port.”
“The legislation of 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,” he stated.
