“During the last 9 months the draft law has been sent by the Iraqi government to the Iraqi parliament, but the copy has been amended by the Iraqi Council of Consultation, though the council’s duty is to organizing the draft law legally not to amend its contents. Therefore, the Oil and Gas Committee in the Iraqi Council of Representatives asked the draft law, which previously has been agreed upon by the KRG and the Iraqi Federal Government, to be sent to the Iraqi parliament, he added.
He also indicated that till the original draft law or agreements between the KRG and the Iraqi Federal Government not to be announced, the oil and gas draft law will not be passed in the Iraqi Council of Representatives.
