SULAIMANI — The Federal Supreme Court issued a verdict on Tuesday (February 15) that the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) law on the independent sale of the Region’s oil and natural gas was against the Iraqi constitution.

The state-owned Iraqi News Agency (INA) said the court has asked the KRG to transfer the management of oil and gas sales to the federal government.

According to an NRT reporter, the supreme court has required the KRG allow the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and Federal Supervisory Board to investigate and supervise all of the KRG’s natural gas and oil contracts.
