On the 3rd July, the Energy Committee of the Iraqi Parliament commenced special expert hearing session on INOC draft law. In addition to the members of the Committee other parliamentarians, senior government officials and many others were invited to attend the session.

Mr Jiyad. was formally informed that two documents were attached to the personal invitations for the hearing: The draft of INOC law and my article entitled “INOC law: Shaky Premises and Doubtful Prospect”, which was published by MEES on 16 May 2011 (Also posted on this website.)

 Moreover, he was asked to provide the Energy Committee with further comments on the law. Accordingly, he prepared a posted to the Committee thorough and comprehensive assessment of the law by analyzing it article-by-article.
