Enforcement mechanisms impede oil agreement between Baghdad and Erbil
In spite of the comments made about the importance of the agreement signed by the government in Baghdad with Iraq's Kurdistan region Finally, on their differences over oil exports and the budget, but the complexities that surround its implementation and the postponement of the two parties decide on the related details subject, reduced expectations about the possibility to apply smoothly desired results . And see the National Alliance MP, Hashem al-Moussawi, the agreement 'is a true beginning of the Iraqi government, but the prime minister Haider al-Abadi, Oil Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi, to resolve differences with the Kurds', noting that' perhaps contributes to the removal of any complexity or escalation of the differences between the parties future '. Musawi is that the agreement 'unacceptable and was required from both sides, because the Kurdistan region will address economic problems and the fiscal deficit and the issue of salaries has, and the deficit will fall in the Iraqi government's budget due to the drop in global oil prices. "
The deal, according to Amoosoeva a statement to the New Arab, that 'enhances the Iraqi government's authority over the oil sector, through the supervision of export across the country and the return of revenues to the state treasury', and is optimistic about the effects of the future agreement, pointing out that 'the Iraqi government will After the agreement, the leader in capital positive policy, unlike the previous government, which had its crises and problems with all areas of Iraq, and they are applying the wrong policies'.
On the security front, al-Moussawi considered that 'the agreement will serve Iraq, it will save more money with which to buy weapons and fighting terrorism, improving security'.
The complexities surrounding the implementation of the agreement and the survival of a group of contentious outstanding issues between the parties, without deduction, has prompted Prime negotiating Kurdish delegation, Barzani, to say after the time limit brief achieve agreement, he 'is final and there are other things to be talked about, but This is a good beginning to resolve the outstanding problems'.
And passes Kurdistan region of Iraq, and decided that since former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, earlier this year, cutting the region's share of the country's budget, which is estimated according to the current rates of export of oil, $ 12 billion per year, severe crisis. Senior officials in their statements did not hide that the government coffers are empty and they want to convince foreign banks to approve the granting of loans and the province to ensure the oil, without being able to make progress.
And remained the issue of payment of salaries of employees in the province and the estimated total of about half a million people, is a major problem faced by the region, before the problem appears more complex, which is to provide a budget for the war against al 'Daash', which has been fighting the Kurds on the front extends in length about a thousand kilometers, start of the Iraqi border with Iran and ending borders with Syria.
On the other hand, if the new Iraqi government does not seem the best of the region. And despite the fact that the funds were available better than that of the Kurds, but the government was unable to impose its authority on about half of the country, where insurgents controlled areas in the north and west of the country, added to the Kurdistan region, where no real power to Baghdad it.
And exacerbated the crisis the government in Baghdad, in the wake of the significant decline in oil prices and the need to compensate for this by increasing exports, and the practical way out is the agreement with the Kurds on how to give the Iraqi treasury amounts of oil for the benefit of, and it was agreed to export 550 thousand barrels per day. This prompted the situation of the parties, in the presence of external and internal pressures, to search for an agreement without delay.
In a related context, says political Kurdish writer, Ribawar cream, new'arab ', that' each party exhausted playing cards that has to be displayed, and the like is not a need for another is not indifferent to it, and the result was that the Kurdistan region's inability to export its oil, and the provision of funds and management affairs independently of Baghdad, which is not able to provide the budget for open war waged months ago '. He adds: 'In contrast, Baghdad tried to besiege the region and prevent money with him and prevent his employees' salaries, before they find themselves facing a fiscal deficit great, and are exposed to real threats from 'Daash' and not be able to recover a lot of areas, which means they need to forces 'peshmerga' Kurdish to assign the army in that task, so the two sides went to the agreement. ' Kurdish source reveals that the 'reasons to go to the agreement for the Kurdistan Regional Government, and the presence of US pressure, internal and other regional countries, particularly Iran, pushed in this direction.'
As a prelude to the use of the Kurdish Peshmerga forces in the liberation of areas such as Mosul of control 'Daash', the agreement between the two parties exchange amount includes nearly one billion dollars for the peshmerga guerrillas immediately. It is likely that the Americans also put pressure on the Kurds, to participate in the liberation of Mosul war, but it seems that the Kurds are not enthusiastic about it, so that the Prime Minister of the province, said in a media statement Finally, 'The Kurds do not want to kill for the Arabs, and the Arabs also wants did it for the Kurds', in reference to the sectarian and ethnic divisions suffered by Iraq.
And look the technical details concerning the application of a complex agreement, because the pipe system installed by the Kurdistan region to export oil is not advanced to the point of meeting the desire of both parties to export more than half a million barrels a day from the province and Kirkuk.
Proposes a Kurdish lawmaker in the Iraqi parliament, Shoresh Haji, a way he sees 'reasonable' for outstanding disagreements between Kurdistan and Baghdad, a swap of land with oil, that is, give up the Iraqi government of Kurdistan in Kirkuk and the rest of the areas claimed by, to meet the oil and gas yield which goes to the state treasury Iraqi.
Considered in an opinion piece published by the newspaper 'Rudaw' Kurdish, it 'If the negotiation agenda in the past and for the Kurds, including many topics, basic and fundamental issue is in the current negotiations is land and oil.'
Haji believes that 'permissible to ask Iraqi officials to agree to the return of Kirkuk and the Kurdish areas to the Kurdistan region to agree with them on those areas that oil is the king of all Iraqis of Kurds, Arabs and the rest'. He adds: 'Under this, the Kurds will get their land, and get Baghdad on oil revenues for all of Iraq', pointing out that 'without it, will remain the case that deferred land, Kaljmr under the ashes, and can be transformed with any events or developments to the crisis and controversy and cause of violence external interference even '.
For his part, a political science professor at Baghdad University, Ihsan al-Shammari, the new'arab 'describes, the agreement as' progress', and this is what the president of the Kurdish negotiator, considering the announcement that an agreement is not final makes it' kind of vulnerability '.
Shammari stresses that 'to reach a final agreement, it remains tied to the development of federal oil and gas law, a thorny and difficult law, on the grounds that it may collide with a lot of bumps on the level of the political interests of the political blocs'. He points out that 'the agreement opens the door to dialogue between Baghdad and the Kurdistan region, a door that was closed under the previous government.'
