The Parliamentary Oil, Gas, and Natural Resources Committee announced on Monday the return of the draft law on oil and gas to the government.
“The oil and gas law is currently outside the halls of the House of Representatives, after it was returned to the government,” committee member Ala Al-Nashi said.
She further said, “The government is closely studying the law and has enlisted the points of contention in order to finally agree on them.”
“The political differences over the oil and gas law remain. Hence, it was not voted on in the House of Representatives,” Al-Nashi declared.
The Kurdish parties continue to obstruct the approval of the government regarding the oil and gas law, which has become a requirement for voting in the halls of parliament in order to bring an end to the violations and thefts being pursued by the Kurdistan Regional Government in the oil smuggling file.
