The Iraqi Government announced in August 2011, ratifying the draft hydrocarbon law, and decided to refer them to Parliament for ratification, while the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for energy, Hussain Shahristani, enter "some modifications" to the long-awaited project.

The Secretary said that Al-Maliki's willingness to make concessions to the Kurds, including their act "the problem in Iraq is greater than any he's talking about other, larger than the personal interests or nationalism, but see it from another perspective, is that the administration of the country and the results will be also because Al Malki, we know in advance that he is willing to bargain and compromise, but at the same time we know that seeks to stay in power and that's what will not accept it".

And the territorial Government's decision to halt oil exports, said it was "determined to this position and cannot back it up unless Baghdad Government budget law and political agreements, any payments to oil companies operating in the territory of more than one billion dollars."

And that "while the decision of the Minister of money allocated 640 million dollars paid to companies, but we received information that the Government prevented him from implementing the resolution". "Ready to raise the territorial Government over oil production scheduled if the Government accepted the obligations," he said, adding that "foreign companies continue to work including Korean and Norwegian and us, French and British.

And Iraq is a founding member of the OPEC group of oil producing and exporting more than 11 signed a contract with billions of major global companies to develop its fields, without an oil law, the Government has already submitted the first draft of the law in February 2007 to Parliament, but political differences, particularly in the provinces, relationship status and relationship status of Kurdistan have prevented ratification law.
