MP Kazem Al-Tawki, a member of the parliamentary Oil, fuel, and natural sources Committee, confirmed on Thursday that the passage of the oil and gas regulation faces huge problems due to the lack of political consensus among the federal authorities and the Kurdistan regional authorities, holding the latter liable for obstructing its enactment.
Al-Tawki instructed dinaropinions.com, “The Oil and gasoline regulation is a strategic piece of law that regulates the relationship between Baghdad and Erbil concerning the management and distribution of oil wealth, however its passage has emerge as complicated due to political disagreements.”
He introduced, “The Kurdistan regional authorities has raised the ceiling of its demands in a way that obstructs achieving a consensus formula and makes it tough to skip the regulation in its cutting-edge form.”
Al-Tawki talked about that “the Kurdish aspect insists on such as politically charged provisions in the draft regulation, instead of specializing in simply technical and organizational components.”
Al-Tawki pressured that “the continuation of this disruption harms the national hobby and delays the achievement of justice within the distribution of wealth among all governorates.”
