Baghdad / NINA / Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi confirmed that the draft budget law will be in the coming days within the council’s agenda to vote on it.

Al-Halbousi said after the voting session on articles of the Federal Court Law: The House of Representatives is keen to proceed with the laws that were suspended in previous sessions, most notably the Federal Supreme Court Law, which has been suspended throughout previous sessions.

He explained: There is insistence from members of Parliament to proceed with legislative procedures, to complete the Federal Supreme Court Law.

He stressed that: Most of the articles of the law were voted on, and there were still articles that needed a broader discussion, as they were sensitive and related to the composition of the court and the decision-making mechanism.

He added: Successive meetings will be held with the heads of political forces and the legal committee, and these meetings will be chaired by the presidency of the Council, to reach common points.

He added, "Next Monday has been set as the date for voting on the rest of the articles of this law."

He continued: There are a number of stalled laws that the council will proceed to legislate, such as the oil and gas law, which is one of the laws stipulated in the constitution, and which will address the mechanism of dealing between Baghdad and Erbil and between Baghdad and the rest of the oil-producing provinces, and the law will be one of the council's next priorities. / End 8
