Salih stresses necessity of dialogue between Baghdad and Erbil on oil export
The President of the Republic, Barham Salih, stressed Thursday the need for dialogue between Baghdad and Erbil on the export of oil, while calling the parliament for immediate action to discuss the postponed oil and gas bill.
Salih said that “the hesitation of political forces for years in approving the oil and gas bill contributed to creating problems and crises, and brought us to this critical moment, where we face its consequences today.”
Salih stressed “the necessity of launching a serious and urgent dialogue between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government to find realistic mechanisms that guarantee what the Federal Supreme Court wanted to adopt, and in a manner that guarantees the constitutional entitlements of the Kurdistan region and all Iraqis by harnessing imports to serve citizens away from corruption and mismanagement.”
He called on the parliament to “immediate action to discuss the postponed oil and gas bill, by enriching its articles or submitting a new bill from the executive authority, and approving it without complacency.”
Salih stressed the importance of “forming the Federation Council, the legislative chamber missing in the existing political system, which was expressly stipulated Article 65 of the Constitution, and the establishment of a public body concerned with guaranteeing the rights of the regions and governorates stipulated in Article 105 of the Constitution, and supporting the Commission to monitor the distribution of federal imports.
Salih renewed the call “to amend the articles of the constitution, which reality has proven to be inapplicable or responsible for deep crises, in addition to supplement and amend the texts regulating the work and form the executive and legislative authorities.”
