Abdul-Mahdi: Baghdad- Erbil agreement has become a reality and Iraq's interest requires it to continue

pointing out that the interests of Iraq continue requires it to continue and seek to develop it.

Abdul-Mahdi said in a statement released by al-Mwaten bloc that, "we are compelled to say that we are all (government and the region) resort to forced and temporary solutions instead of permanent and reassuring solutions, indicating that the policies , statements and wrong positions through the past years led to the complexity of the relationships and concepts and the accumulation of practices and procedures and benefits of this or that party. "

Abdul-Mahdi explained, "One of the main reasons for the lack of oil and gas law and the law of distribution of financial resources .. and that each party provide its interpretation on the Constitution.. disrupting adjustments and receivables which is the right of the region .. and prevent in the other hand, entry of exports values ​​carried out by the region, which is the right of the Iraqi federal treasury, without mentioning other things. "

He added , "there should be a quick agreement to regulate the budget 2015, which is agreement of 550 thousand barrels in daily average. Despite all the difficulties and disagreements, but the agreement has improved the atmosphere and meetings, and helped to overcome the budget crisis, and became a reality continues to hold. We believe that it is everyone's interests to continue and develop it".

The Minister of Oil, a leader in the Supreme Council said "we have been working since 2004 to allocate 17% of the budget for Kurdistan Region (after deducting what Kuwait wants and the rest of the sovereign and ruling expenditure). The region was in a self-governing position since the seventies that it has since 1991 (and the withdrawal of government forces from it) ministries and departments of similar exactly to what the federal government has, and began applying the "oil for food" program to receive 13% from the entire Iraq's imports of oil, (does not deduct from them only what is decided to Kuwait). "

Kurdistan enjoy according to 2005 Constitution "the region’s"  position with all its requirements of the Constitution and local government .. " it was important to work according to the proportion of 17% for organizing dues on one hand and to prevent double payments on the other. Since the region delivers the federal government a part of 550 thousand barrels only and export to its advantage the other part, so the percentage deducted from the 17% must be calculated from the monthly dues, fit with direct exports, which prevents as much as possible the double payment and puts us in the way of oil and gas belongs to the Iraqi people in all its regions and provinces. Despite our belief that these solutions are all temporary and compelling solutions, as some afflicted by confusion and uncertainty. "

The Minister concluded "It's time to do what we have stated all for us, if the budget approved , we will seek within 6 months or less to sit down together to develop a comprehensive, fair and constitutional solutions to this issue."
