Article (111) of the Constitution reads as follows: oil and gas is the property of all the Iraqi people in all the regions and the provinces, while Article (112) as follows: First: The federal government will administer oil and gas extracted from current fields with the governments of the producing regions and provinces, to be distributed and imports fairly commensurate with the population distribution all over the country.
in the meantime, announced the advisers in the Prime Minister's Office that the differences between oil Baghdad and the Kurdistan region on its way to a solution.
Chief Engineer Thamer Ghadban Authority's (Brief Center for Media Network Iraqi): "The Council of Ministers when he discussed the topic of relationship the province the federal government on oil product more than once in the past month and the current action is not taken certain this side and open the way through the formation of a committee to build on the view displayed Minister of oil in front of the Council of Ministers was in the light of the formation of a joint committee between the federal government and the province. "
and added that the aim of the formation of the committee comes for two reasons, first: Work on continuing export of the region within the oil exports through the national grid According to what was planned in the budget for the year 2012 in the sense that the province issued amounted to 175 thousand barrels per day, while exports from the rest of Iraq, which is handled by the Ministry of Oil by 2.425 million barrels a day that the total export total of 2.6 million barrels per day on the basis of which was the preparation of the budget and the rate of $ 85 a barrel.
Ghadhban also pointed out that the province has stopped exports since the beginning of this year and exports fell clashes occurred when price falls barrel globally, but recently we have seen a rise in oil prices from the new export price remained up to $ 100 and the difference between the actual price for the sale of the barrel and the speculative price of $ 85 instead of the loss in exports caused by the excluding the province of delivery quantities of oil produced there.
Ghadhban that the obligations of the Federal Government and the provincial government, including the law and not proper to disturb them, regardless of the reasons along with the need to build trust both between parties within the country or in front of countries of the world, as economic factors must be isolated from the political, noting that the economic agreements, whether contracts for delivery of energy supplies from one country to another should not be temporary and subject to political differences, and only the intervention of economic sanctions between the two sides of any party because it would undermine confidence and that this happened in the country because the stop export of the province of one party is a big mistake and should not be repeated and continue production and export operations away from political differences. and on the special demands deduct amounts of oil exported from the region of Kurdistan's budget, Ghadban said: "This was a matter minus It واردا before the Council of Ministers then, when presented the memorandum by the Minister of oil which is not new among the resources that deprived them budget Federal due to stop and have been calculated in 2010 partially and 2011 and some months of the year 2012 and the amount was more than the $ 11 billion, but through dialogue within the Council of Ministers was probably give opinion topic more room and asked the vice Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Rose Nuri Shaways contact with the region and was the last meeting and there's tentative agreement to resolve the dilemma in the meeting and seems to be a practical solution. "He continued by saying:" If there is agreement on the dilemmas and to follow the latest agreement, it horizons will open to other solutions that relate to legislative dilemma, "expected to head the oil crisis between the federal government and the Kurdistan region to the solution.
