I'm really pleased that the fraternal Iraqi people share the revenue from your oil reserves. Had it not been so, I had not written those words at all. In my country Sweden, we have a mining company LKAB and units owned by the state to ensure that we Swedes get our share of the proceeds of the iron ore we export. But if I understand the situation right, the KRG oil exports and it has been resold by the government in Baghdad and the KRG have since had their 17% of revenue. But should not the Norwegian oil company DNO have been paid for the delivered oil first and then share the Iraqi people on the profits that remain. Otherwise surely even the Iraqi people pay the remaining 83% of DNO's production costs? The Iraqi people can hardly expect that the effectiveness of Western oil companies will raise the oil from the ground for free? Or have I misunderstood the whole situation? Sincerely Johnny Holmström Dear rawan

However as an Iraqi I would like to remind you that Money from oilexport belongs to all the people of Iraq, and export is from the central government represented by SOMO and the revenue goes to the Government finance ministry.As per the constitution KRG share is 17% of the revenues;and since your deals are with the KRG then its only logical that you should get your money(if any)from KRG share. notnamedhurry: Your comment is irrelevant to the subject.

Until Parliament passes some new legislation, this is the law we are left with. Still, the law of Iraq does require ratification of Oil Contracts.

From this distance it seems that whether Sunni or Shiite, Sharastani is doing a creditable job and that the Rumalia contract will be to Iraq's benefit and should be supported Energy policy is debated strenuously here in the U.S. too, but we are fortunate that it does not break down along religious lines.

Mr. Bruce Iraq is the main founder of OPEC and always stand for fair and justifiable oil prices between consumers and producers and to safeguard the interest of Iraqi people in their wealth and riches and the interest of OPEC members.
