Deputy Prime Minister for Energy, Hussein al-Shahristani said the Kurdistan Regional Government gets 17% of the budget but did not provide up to 5% of the budget at best.
Shahristani expressed surprise at the behavior of the Kurdistan Regional Government by its decision to halt oil exports as he emphasized that the border crossing points in the region are not subject to the control of the central government.
Shahristani said that the "territory prevents the relevant ministries in the government of the center of the internal and customs of direct supervisory responsibilities."
And accused the Iraqi Oil Ministry, on Monday, the Kurdistan region of smuggling large quantities of crude oil and petroleum products to Iran and Afghanistan,
The Minister of Oil Abdul Karim and coffee during a joint press conference with Deputy Prime Minister for Energy, held in Baghdad, "The Kurdistan region is the smuggling of thousands of cars truck carrying crude oil and petroleum products to Iran across its border," asserting that "The ministry has indicators and detailed reports the quantities smuggled. "
And added to the coffee that "Most of the quantities of oil being smuggled to Iran sold in global markets through Persian Gulf through the ports of Bandar Abbas and Bandar Khomeini and less than world prices," noting that "the other quantities go to Afghanistan through Iran."
And added to coffee, "said sales of smuggled oil from the region of five times the dues of the companies operating in the territory."
The Kurdistan Regional Government says it stopped pumping oil because the central government did not pay dues to companies operating in the region.
The al-Shahristani announced in April of 2012 that deprived the government of the Kurdistan region of Iraq during the past two years 2010 and 2011, of six billion and $ 650 million because of its failure to export oil, "expected" to be more deprivation in the year 2012.
