The Parliamentary Oil, Gas and Natural Resources Committee revealed the fate of the Oil and Gas Bill that has been suspended since successive parliamentary sessions. The Vice Chairman of the Committee, Nehru Mahmoud Qader, stated in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA /: "The Oil and Gas Bill has not reached the corridors of the House of Representatives yet, and has not been presented for discussion within the Council of Ministers yet." He added: "No new draft of the bill has reached the House of Representatives at the present time," indicating that "Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has assigned a" tripartite ministerial team "to prepare a new final draft that will be presented first within the Council of Ministers for approval, and then sent to the House of Representatives later," ruling out at the same time that this law will be legislated during the current legislative session of the House of Representatives.
