BAGHDAD / NINA / MP, from the state of law coalition, Abbas al-Bayati said there are political differences between the blocs on the budget, noting that "these differences will disappear when everyone will be in front of a difficult and bitter financial situation."

He told the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA / today that the 2015 budget is a very realistic, and does not involve any margin for political maneuver, so the political blocs have to deal with the budget as compulsion not a choice, because the financial reality of Iraq is very difficult, with the deterioration of oil prices. "

He said "there are political bickering between the blocs in parliament about the budget, but in finally, everyone is trying to approving the budget, after making some adjustments and transfers."

Bayati added, "The House of Representatives sessions that will be held today until next Monday, will see the receiving of the Parliamentary Finance Committee to suggestions and comments of members of the House of Representatives, and then turning the budget to the relevant committees to prepare it for a vote by the end of this month."

He said "there is no possibility to return the budget to the government, but a number of concerned ministers will be hosted in the Finance Committee, for the purpose of agreeing with them on issues related to the oil price and the total amount of the budget."/ End
