Parliament rebuffs Cabinet oil law

The Parliament's oil and energy committee has voted against the Cabinet's draft oil law, reviving the debate over long-delayed, crucial legislation.
Adnan Janabi (R), the chairman of the Parliament's oil and energy committee, gives a press conference with Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Hussain al-Shahristani in February 2011. Janabi's committee voted on April 18, 2012 to set aside a draft oil law favored by Shahristani, and instead consider competing versions of that legislation. (BEN VAN HEUVELEN/Iraq Oil Report)
