Iraq’s parliament may pass a new energy law by the end of this year, hoping to make it easier for the government to attract foreign investors, the chairman of the legislative body’s oil and energy committee said.
“We are studying two drafts, one from within the committee and another one from the government,” Adnan Al Janabi said. “We will come out with a new law from these two drafts, and we can pass the law by the end of the year.” He spoke today in an interview at the Iraq 2011: Future Energy conference organized by The Energy Exchange in Istanbul.
