Last week, the Federal Supreme Court, based in Baghdad, ruled the unconstitutionality of the oil and gas law, which was legislated by the KRG Parliament, and ordered Erbil to allow Iraq’s Ministry of Oil and the Federal Office of Financial Supervision to follow up on the conclusion of contracts for the sale of oil and gas in the region, and to deliver crude oil to Baghdad.
